They vary depending on manufacture. Compromise to fit as many people as possible. We are designed to go squating. To tall of a toilet would make it more difficult. Taller toilets are made to aid elderly and physically challenged people to use toilet.
To lower a toilet flange that is above the concrete floor, first, remove the toilet and the existing flange. If the flange is too high, you can cut it down using a hacksaw or a reciprocating saw, ensuring you leave enough height for the wax ring to seal properly. Alternatively, you can add a spacer to the flange to bring it to the correct height if cutting is not feasible. Once adjusted, reattach the flange securely before reinstalling the toilet.
Toilets are available in a wide variety of styles. Installation procedures are generally consistent. A new toilet Installation may be part of a complete bathroom renovation or a necessary repair project. That depends on your choice for your new toilet. An average low cost- $286.65 An average high cost- $363.98 The average plumber charges between $45-$65/hour and the installation should take about an hour.
About 2" to 4" is the difference between ADA and standard toilets.ANSI 117.1a 2003, which is determined to be "SAFE HARBOR" for accessible design, requires that an accessible toilet be 17" to 19" in height. Most regular toilets are 14" to 16" in height.NOTE: if you are looking to modify your existing toilet there are lids that add 2" to the height. My neighbor, who is very tall, has his master bath toilet as an ADA toilet to keep his knees out of his chin... just because he can.It is correct that ADA toilets are higher but the other difference is in the size of the "goose neck". the ADA has a larger goose neck therefore has a higher flush capacity for the harder bowels which is usually found in the older generation or certain medications.Some personal opinions from the community:I am a short person, and the ADA toilet height requirement is NOT helpful to me. It only makes sense that if something is better for one person, it will be worse for another. The distance between my heel and the back of my knee is 14.5 inches. So, you can figure the math. My feet dangle when I sit on the ADA seat.I'm 59 and I have terrible arthritis as well as a bum knee (recent problem). I've been using a cane to get on and off a standard height toilet, and even that sometimes proves to be difficult. I'm having ADA approved toilets (19" high) installed in both of my bathrooms next week. I live in a retirement community where the entire house (except for the toilets) is designed for people who use walkers or who are in wheelchairs. Having ADA approved toilets in this type of house is a selling feature. I know they're probably too high for short people, but I believe you should probably think long term about whether or not you might be using a walker or a wheelchair as well as whether or not potential buyers will scoff at standard height toilets. I "tried out" an ADA approved toilet before I decided to buy them for my house and you wouldn't believe the difference it makes in getting on and off the toilet ... no more canes for me.
if i understand the question i believe its 18 to 20 inches
Your question isn't very clear. Toilet must be leaking somewhere. Shut off valve, supply line, the seal between the tank and the bowl or the wax ring underneath the toilet. In warm weather, the tank can sweat if the water filling it is cold in high humidity. It pretty much has to be one of these places.
They are usually about 24-26 inches high
36 inches max from rear wall to furthest edge of dispenser. 19 inches minimum above finished floor to center of roll.
The standard placement is 20 - 24 inches from the floor up to the center of the TP holder. New toilet configuration these days my be several inches higher than the old standard toilet. If you have a newer toilet, adjust accordingly.
You may also consider a "ADA Toilet Spacer" which will give you the flexibility to use your existing equipment, but there are several companies that offer you a new toilet, if you wish. The major companies... i.e. Kohler, American Standard, Crane, Acorn etc. all have 18".
Briggs, and crane are my favourite.But, if you like your old toilet, you can get seats that raise the height and can be lifted to allow the little grandson to stand and pee.AnswerKohler class five and Toto G-Max flush toilets.
A standard toilet is typically around 15 inches high. Factors to consider when determining the ideal height for a toilet include the user's height, mobility, and comfort preferences. Taller individuals may prefer a higher toilet for easier sitting and standing, while those with mobility issues may benefit from a lower height for better accessibility. Comfort is also important, as some users may find a specific height more comfortable for their needs.
If the toilet flange is too high, it can cause the toilet to not sit properly on the floor, leading to leaks, instability, and potential damage to the flooring.
It is a pun because a toilet can be referred to as a pot, which is also another name for marijuana, and because they are standing on the toilet they are high, like the phenomenon reached from smoking marijuana.
Yes, it is possible to install a toilet properly even if the toilet flange is too high by using a flange extender or a wax ring with an extra-thick flange. These solutions can help ensure a secure and leak-free installation of the toilet.
High
A high-pressure toilet has a stronger flush, which can help prevent clogs and keep the toilet cleaner. It also uses less water per flush, saving water and potentially reducing water bills.
The purpose of the toilet jet hole in a toilet system is to release water into the bowl at a high velocity, helping to effectively flush away waste and keep the toilet clean.
