I'm thinking to replace my standard round two pieces toilet in the
guest bathroom with one piece Briggs elongated toilet.

I don't know anything about this so please bear with me. The spare
bathroom is tiny. When the tile man removed the toilet to install the
tiles, there was a big nasty hole there. I'd like to know if the new
one piece would fit right in that hole.

How do I know for sure it will fit? Do I need to measure from the
center of the hole to the wall (yuck!)? Just don't want to carry that
thing home and it doesn't fit.

Thanks for all your input.
April

You need the measurement from the center of the pipe to the wall.

if its easier to measure , get from the pipe edge to the wall, and the
pipe diameter (although the are a standard size.


I hope if the old toilet is removed that you have a temporary cap on
that sewer line. even platic wrap from the kitchen is better than
nothing.

You measure from the center of the flange (hole) to the surface of the
wall. It's probably 12 inches. There are also 10" rough-in toilets (I
think that's the measure) if a standard 12" won't fit. Last time I was
looking at flanges at HD, I think I saw some offset flanges that would add
2 inches to the rough-in distance.

BTW, you need to cover the hole with a margarine tub lid or something --
keep sewer gas out of your house, and keep things from falling down the hole.

Best regards,
Bob

Yes, cover the hole.

Not only does it smell bad, it can be explosive.

Have you ever tried to replace the entire flapper assembly in a one
piece toilet?
Also, they are normally low rise, taking away a little gravity from the
flush. I view them as one "piece" of crap
