    New toilet installation
    We have a new toilet that sits further out from the wall and therefore does not line up with draiin. Is there an adaptor to move the drain? Is this difficult to do?

    Yes, there's a offset closet flange , (see image) that can move the bowl up to 2 inches. This means removing the old flange and installing the new offset flange. Please give us more details. Regards, Tom
