As time passes, every toilet will need to get replaced. It’s simpler than you thought. Before anything, it’s best to be aware of the fundamentals of your measurements for your toilet. The only way to be sure that you’re buying the proper substitute is by measuring the new bathroom. The smaller your restroom is, the less critical the measurements you take. Here’s how you can ensure that your new toilet can fit exactly where the previous one was.
The Replacement Toilet: What Is the Process
Toilet Depth
Toilets come with two kinds of bowls: oval and round. Bowls that are round take up less space than their oval counterparts, but they’re generally more comfortable. Start at the front of your bowl and work your way back to determine the size of your current toilet. You can match the size of your existing bathroom to an alternative if you’re happy with it. If you’d like to have more space at the front of the toilet, choose the shallower one.
Tank Height
Take measurements of the depth of the tank to make sure that the toilet you are installing will be able to fit under existing shelves or other objects. The toilet tank’s height gets measured from the ground to the highest point of the tank. Measure the size at the highest point of the tank’s lid’s bottom.
Rough-In Measurement
The distance of the wall between the toilet and the waste pipe’s central point get referred to as rough-in measurement. Assess rough-in height for your bathroom; use an instrument with tape and measure from the wall in front of the toilet up to center your Bolt caps (caps secure bathroom onto your floor). If you find four-bolt hats, take note of the set in the rear.
It’s time to take all measurements for your toilet to a local home improvement store and select a brand new toilet that can fit within your bathroom and waste pipe installation.
