    This is just a wild guess... but a place that sells plumbing supplies?

    Edit : I wasn't clear enough in my answer, because the question wasn't clear enough... as was mentioned by speedball, offset flange is what you need. However the plumbing supply place would have been quick to explain that to you..

    Hi Janje and Welcome to The Plumbing Page. At AskMeHelpDesk.com.
    They don't make "offset toilets. Are you sure you aren't looking for a off set toilet flange, (see image).
    How far would you want to off set the bowl? Back to you, Tom

    Tom is right on the money, the toilet is not offset but the flange can be. Maybe up to 2" if needed but we need to know more about your installation. What was installed before?

    Hi guys!

    Toto makes a UNIFIT adapter that will allow most Toto toilets to fit a 10", 12" or 14" rough in with just that one adapter and you DON'T have to mess with the drain piping or flange...see images.

    In this manner, I might actually consider Toto to be an "offset toilet" as Janje inquired about... ;)

    Have a good day all!

    Hey Mark, By offset toilet I assumed they meant a offset toilet bowl.
    You gave us everything but the price, What's the dollar difference between the Toto toilet plus the UNIFIT adapter to a Briggs or American Standard regular toilet? As I've often said, "you're never too old to learn." Have a good day, From the Boston weather reports you all could use a "good day". Regards, Tom

    I don't think they are real cheap, for sure, Tom! But if you factor in the cost hire a plumber to cut out the old flange and flooring and install an offset flange in this case I'm betting it's about a wash when comparing the standard toilets to totos' very basic toilets... maybe? Of course, Toto toilets can run some pretty hefty bucks as you go up in style!

    And luckily, weather in my area has only been a little wet and chilly... not too bad, especially when you consider just how easily we got off from Winter up here, huh?

    Have a great night!

    Can these UNIFIT adapters be used on any bowl? If Toto makes a special bole for these I can see the cost shooting through the roof. Have you installed any? Back to you, Tom

    I have installed 3 of these (I think Milo has installed hundreds)... very nice install... almost "foolproof", really!

    The unifit adapter only fits the Toto toilet and there are ones that are very competitive ($200.00ish plus the cost of the adapter (not very expensive)) all the way to $1000.00, so yeah, definitely a niche for them!

    I think the real nice thing about these is that you don't have to go messing with the plumbing and offset flanges to fit a toilet anymore. In fact, one of the unifit adapters I worked with slid in and out via an O-Ring. This "universal" unifit adapter allowed the user to fit that toilet anywhere from 14" to 8"... if I remember correctly! Anyway, very versatile unit here! The installation of the adapter to the old flange was a breeze on PVC and cast iron flanges!
