What is the height of a toilet seat in new construction?

 

[waffleironhead]

depends on the toilet and the seat.

I was assuming there is a building code standard?

Add location to it too...

In Asia, certain places they still squat so it'll be 0.

Depends on the model. Typical toilets have a height from floor to rim of 15" plus 1" thick seat for a 16" seat height. Other models on the market are considered ADA height which is 17 inch rim with seat height of 18". There is a tolerance in height for these tho from 16 1/2" to even almost 18" depending on the model.

They always end up right under my ass.

That's no help. Being that you're all ass, I wouldn't know where to stop measuring.
:laugh:

 

[Evadman]

The drain is supposed to be 12" from the wall. Other than that, there is no code for the actual height for a regular toilet, only for a handicapped one. You can't really raise or lower the height anyway, unless you plan on building a little trough or shelf to stick the bowl on.

Have you ever noticed that the handicapped toilets have smaller flush holes? I don't understand that...

Since when did toilets have to do with dentistry?

nope, just your choice.

QFT, Many years ago, before you could buy toilets of various heights, a customer, (6' 7"), had me build a pedestal apox. 8" high to mount his toilet on. The older I get, the more I think this is a good idea. It's one thing to have your pants around your knees, yet another, to have your knees up in your face.

Or changing out the toilet...
