Brandon Whitmore Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 If the tank didn't sit directly against the wall, it could be argued that the center line is measured side to side instead of front to back. [^] (kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Fabry Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Install another one just like it to the right and it'd be awesome for Siamese twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Judging by the stains on the floor and wall it looks like a lot of near misses. "I you can p--s over this line join the fire department." Latrine humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm not sure if the tank will allow it, but maybe with an offset adapter, it could be turned 45 degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plummen Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Normally a toilet is required 30" of space with 6" of clearance from other fixtures or vanity,not sure about from a side wall. Id check clearance for entering/exiting tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Just curious. Are you writing that up? Looking at the age of the place and considering it's in a basement, I'd probably not bother with it other than make a joke about it, so they would notice it. Of course, my tune would change if that was a newer house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble finding the 6" requirement in the last 3 editions of the Omaha, NE Municipal Plumbing Code. Can you show me where it is? They have very nice illustrations for fixture placements though. 2010 Omaha Plumbing Code http://www.cityofomaha.org/planning/ima ... 20Code.pdf 2007 Omaha Plumbing Code http://www.cityofomaha.org/planning/ima ... 20Code.pdf 2003 Omaha Plumbing Code http://www.cityofomaha.org/planning/ima ... 20Code.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Funny Ezra. All I see for spacing to another fixture is (2010): Sec. 49-637. Space requirement for nonhandicapped plumbing fixtures. The following are minimum clearances: (a) Water closets: (4) There shall be a minimum of four (4) inches between a water closet and a lavatory. (See figure 637(a)(5)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plummen Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well it looks like Ive been doing it wrong all these years,I had 6" beaten into my head and thats what I always stuck with. [:-paperba We had an inspector for a lot of years named Jack Grainger R.I.P that always pushed that number on me on condemed/ code violation properties. Hed want 30" of space for a toilet and 6" between fixtures,and drip legs on water heaters had to be double the o.d of the pipe from floor to bottem of pipe. Those things and san tees laying on their backs were his biggest pet peeves,I hate to think of how much existing cast iron he used to make me tear out over those san tees! [:-weepn] Of course once he got to know id never try and pull anything over on him hed just ask if I did a good job ,and give me a sticker and tell me to find a pipe to put it on without ever leaving his car because his knees were so bad [^] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
