Hello,

I'm looking to replace a couple of toilets. I want the higher toilet bowls for
comfort now
and ease of sitting down when older.

I can't find any bowls higher than about 16 1/2". I thought it would be easy to
find a 19"
high bowl but can't.

Any suggestions where to look?

Thanks.

Bill

What? You haven't been to Lowe's or Home Depot and looked for ADA
compliant toilets? Color is extra, but white is usually always in stock.

What is that dripping from my fingers?
Why it looks like time.

ADA only requires 17" to 19" from top of seat.

I want the bowl to be higher.

Thanks for your answer.

And, I have shopped Lowe's and Home Depot completely and surfed the web but no
luck.

I was hoping someone here could help.

Are you over 7 foot tall?
You might write Yao Ming c/o the Houston
Rockets and see where he gets his toilets.
Take into consideration you shrink as you get
older.
There is a 6" or 8" toilet seat that you might
find at a "sick-room supply store". ( you may
have seen them in some public restrooms?) If you ad
that to an ADA commode you should be
shitting pretty. (Sorry couldn't resist it.)
Good Luck!
