Typical measurements for a floor-mounted toilet include:

  • Height: 15-16 inches from floor to seat rim for standard; 17-19 inches for comfort/ADA compliant.

  • Depth/Length: 27-30 inches from back to front.
  • Rough-In: 12 inches from wall to drain center (standard); 10 or 14 inches for variations.

  • Seat height: 17-19 inches.

图片
Choosing between one piece and two piece toilets is crucial for homes, hotels, or commercial projects. Aidibath (35+ years in sanitary ware) simplifies this comparison to help you pick the right option based on your needs. 1.
