Yes, 12" is by far and away the most common. The other roughins are referred to as "goof toilets" - where the roughin is incorrect (not 12" from the finished wall surface). Hill
: : I need to know how to position a new toilet? How far out away from the wall does the drain pipe need to be?
: Toilets are manufactured in three sizes 10",12"&14" roughing. Twelve inch rough is the most common. Roughing measurement is the measurement between the finished wall & the center of the toilet flange. FYI: One piece toilets are only found in 12" rough while two piece toilets can be found in all three sizes.
