Offset Toilet Flange Extender

I'd leave it alone. Touching plumbing in an old house can cause a LOT of unanticipated work. I cannot imagine why a toilet would have to be moved back such a small amount.

You gotta tell us . . 'why'? The only possible reason I can think of that someone would want to do that is because the little woman picked out a new toilet with a wider profile and now a door won't open.

I'd replace the toilet before trying to move old cast iron. But if that isn't possible, I'd probably find a likely place to break the drain in the basement and just replace it with PVC.

I'm just guessing he has a half inch too *little* space behind the toilet, but that's just me.

Yes, it is just you. Re-read above.

Right, the new toilet is just a little bit too long to clear the door. If I can't find an adapter, I'll just angle it a bit and claim that's the latest stlye.

Well HE SAID he needed to move the toilet BACK. Not Forward.

I can't imagine either why he'd need to do this.

If it's truly just a half inch that's needed, you should be able to cheat it back that much. after you set it in the wax, just shove it back.

Notch the door

I heard that was THE latest style ;-)

Take it back and get a "shallower" one. There is a pretty broad size range.

Hey, you're right. That does seem ridiculous.

Maybe the county is widening the road through the bathroom in front of the toilet.
