Building a new addition to my home. Looking for information about placing the toilet flange. How far from the wall? Should I purchase the toilet first or is there a standard measurement for this? Need help to move foreword.
 
Thanks

Side clearance you need around 16 inches.  15 inches is the bare mininum.  As a rule, I rough in 12 and a half to 13 inches out from the finished sheetrock wall to the center of the flange.  That usually makes for a nice fit.  Hope that helps.

Thank you. The simplest questions are often the hardest to find answers for.
