    How to move toilet away from back wall
    I want to set up a space saver over my toilet however the toilet seems to be too close to the wall behind it and the water shutoff valve is in the way. Is there any way to move the toilet out further from the wall?

    Thanks

    Modify or get a different space saver cabinet... even a wall mounted one... moving plumbing and a toilet is going to be a big job and more work than a cheap over toilet cabinet is worth.

    Smoothly gave you good advice but just how far out would you wish to move it? Back to you, Tom

    I too agree with Smoothy, modify the saver or find a different attachment method. Moving the supply valve is a slight pain the kesster but moving the toiet is a boggy for what you are getting out of it.
