hello,
I have gotten some conflicting information about how far I need between my toilet and the wall on the side. I know It should be 12" in back. My pipe is 14" from the center of the pipe to the left wall. I have gotten toilets in that small of space before doing remodels on old houses but this one has to pass inspection (using national plumbing code) and I heard that the code says 15". Can someone tell me if there is a code requirement and what it is?
Also, has anyone used one of the Eljer corner toilets? It is not quite what we had in mind when we designed the bathroom, but it looks like it will fit closer to that wall. How far do you think I would have to be from the pedestal sink on the right side?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Jon

15" from center on each side is code. Have not used corner toilets, sorry.
