Why should concrete be place as close as possible to its final?
Concrete is very heavy, and hard to move.
Do they have a toilet for 18 center rough in?
I don't believe so. That is the old style with the tank mounted on the wall and a tube to the base. There is a floor flange with an offset in it that will move it back a couple of inches, but any more and you will need to change the drain or possibly build up the wall behind the toilet if it happens to be in a cut out.
Should the closet flange be level with the floor or be 14 inches higher than the floor?
Sure. Either way. The wax ring seals the toilet to the closet flange so it doesn't really matter that much. The important part is that the toilet be mounted firmly to the floor so that it doesn't move. That would cause the wax ring to fail then the toilet would leak around the flange.
How can you join your toilet to the drain when the rough in is only two inches?
If you mean from the back wall to the center of the drain. The minimum standard rough in is 10 " - 12". IN ADDITION: This is a construction fault. Either you need to re do the plumbing or move the toilet across until it fits. This type of problem is quite a nasty one to fix.
How do you relocate a drain in a concrete slab?
Change how? Move the location, you bust out the concrete and move it. Replace or repair the flange that the toilet hooks to. Cut the existing flange off flush with the floor and install a new repair flange. They can be brass or steel. You can use a PVC one that fits in the drain and seal it with a wax ring under it and screw it to the floor. If you are working with cast iron flange and the slots where the bolts are supposed to go is broken out, they make a repair piece for this. It is a 3/4 inch wide by 3-4 inch long crescent shape piece that slides under the flange and the bolt that holds the toilet fits into it. You may have to chip out a little concrete along the edge to get these under the flange.
How do feet move?
By inches.
Why does the water move around in one toilet when the other toilet is flushed?
There are two main reasons... 1. If the toilets are mounted back-to-back on opposite sides of a wall, some of the movement can be attributed to mechanical transmission of vibration from one to the other due to a structural connection. 2. Suction in the drain. Toilet drains have vents that allow air to move in and gas to move out. If the vents are improperly installed or get clogged they can create a suction in the drain pipe that jiggles the water in other toilet bowls. 3. The theory that this movement is caused by Toilet Gnomes becoming jealous of the attention that other Toilet Gnomes are getting and then scrambling around in a panic is false.
What if a toilet flange will not fit in the drain pipe?
The easiest solution would be to move the toilet so that it lines up with the waste pipe.
What is a flange on a toilet and how does it contribute to the proper installation and function of the toilet?
A flange on a toilet is a circular piece that connects the toilet to the floor drain pipe. It helps secure the toilet in place and creates a watertight seal to prevent leaks. The flange also provides stability and support for the toilet, ensuring it functions properly and does not move or wobble during use.
Is it due to the size of the toilet or just the bad installation if the water tank of the new toilet is about 2 inches away from the wall?
Probably it is due to the size of the toilet tank. If the toilet is a low flow, or under 2 gallons per flush, the tank will be considerably smaller than an older toilet tank, which might hold as much as 25 gallons. The only critical thing in istalling a toilet is if the drain pipe lines up with the drain opening. Unless you move the toilet drain, the new toilet is going to sit in the same place. If you have a gap between the wall and the tank, you might want to put a block of wood or something to help anchor the tank. Newer tanks are smaller due to the reduced water need with the current flushing technology.
