toilet rough in

[LazyPup]

Even if it were code compliant, i would be very hesitant to install an offset flange in this application. You are only looking at potentially a 1/2" difference between the stud wall and the finished sheet rock, whereas an off set flange would off set either 1.5 or 2". In this instance I would first double check the actual measurement of the toilet. In all probability the toilet will allow the 1/2 difference and in practice offset flanges tend to be problamatic as they tend to clog more than a straight flange.

So even though offset flanges are not code compliant, my 29 unit apt building has a few roughed in floor flanges set at 8 or 9" from the finished wall. I'm not sure how the original toilets were ever installed, but I've got to deal with it. I could cut the ceiling open and extend the pipe, but what a pain![V] I've looked and Googled high and low and have not found a low profile offst (3") floor flange. Any ideas???[?][?][?] I realize I would have space the toilet with a shim of plywood. That's life. [xx(]

I have discovered after removing my old toilet to replace it that I on have 9" rough in and the 10" toilet will not fit both the wall and the bolts. Is there a solution to a less tahtn 10" rough in or does someone make one shorter than 10". Please help... I'm stuck.

SOLUTION? I cut the ceiling open and cut the 3" drain and added 3", and shortened the 1 1/2" rear heal tub drain, cut a 1/4 moon out of the floor, and voila, it's done. A pain in the rear for sure.
