It was uncomfortably tight.
Toilet tank too close to wall tile.
Create an alcove behind the commode by removing the drywall and studs to a height and width that will clear the tank.
There s a way to move your toilet if it s too close to the wall.
Should be enough wiggle room in the bolt holes to get it back on there.
The toilets were installed too close to the walls.
Sometimes building contractors make mistakes.
They built the walls in a friend s bathroom too close to the waste stack pipe in the floor.
Add a rectangle of 3 4 plywood against the back of opposite rooms drywall.
Even if you were to switch brands and use a 2 offset it would still be away from the wall.
I would never attempt to install the pipe that way and hope it would all come out properly in the end because.
The toilet tanks are right against the wall and there hasn t been a problem.
The distance from the back wall to the flange is based on the toilet design while the clearances to side and front walls are set by the local building code.
Some brands have a tank that would be perhaps 2 thicker.
As a result when the toilet was seated by the plumbing contractors it turned out to be too close to one of the side walls.
You really don t need that wall behind the toilet do you.
The space between your tank and wall is not your contractor s fault it s too bad they just don t communicate these issues with homeowners.
You determine the location of the toilet relative to the surrounding walls when you cut the hole in the floor for the flange which is the fitting that connects the toilet to the waste line.
The framing could have been moved or boxed out.
The closet you can get would be a 14 rough toilet.
Reframe it as if it were a low doorway.
However now one of the tanks has started to do a slow drip.
And yes it actually does have to do with the toilet you chose.
The only way a floor mount tank type toilet would fit tight to the wall would be if the plumber knew exactly how far the opening had to be from the finished wall and also knew how thick the finished wall would be from the framing.
