Toilet moving

[Hornnumb2]

Purchased new toilet and need to move it over a few inches to make the side foot flush fit. Any ideas how these are plumbed? Thanks Michael

To move toilet...

Remove floor flange...can be screw in type or glued on type
Remove floor covering around toilet
Remove subfloor around toilet
Reposition toilet drain line........cut, move, re-glue, add angle fittings (45*) as needed
Rebuild sub-floor
Install floor flange
Redo flooring
Set toilet...new floor gasket, bolt toilet down and hook up water line (probably have to redo water line plumbing)

OR

Return toilet and get one that fits.....either left side foot flush pedal, hand flush lever or front foot flush pedal

If you had to ask the question then choose option 2. Option 1 assumes you've done this type of work before (and it's a major PITA.)

My toilet in a small 5er went from the toilet flange through a 45 degree fitting, about 18 inches though another 45 degree fitting (to turn the pipe to straight down again, into the tank. I wanted to move the toilet a couple of inches to get more room in the shower/toilet room. I cut the 18 inch section near the two 45 degree fittings, moved the toilet flange back the 2 or so inches I wanted to move it (making sure the trim covered the hole that was now there). Used two rubber no-hub fittings to tie in the pipe where it had been cut. Worked great.

You need to follow your drain, and see if/where you can cut and reconnect. No-hub fittings make a great way to connect pieces that are not perfectly aligned.

Master Biscuit is right and unless your comfortable and know how to do all this work your better off returning it.
What your asking is not a small job, it's major surgery!

Look up the manufactures web site and see if they have models that are left or right sided. Might need a simple bracket or plastic molding to change sides if it won't fit.

Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer. Some are plumbed with a straight drop into the black tank while others have a slight offset. Depends on your trailer.
