Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 01, 2021 12:49 pm Just wondering if anyone had experience in this. The usual AU standard for toilet rough-ins is 180/200mm. But if we extend it to 305mm such that installing a usual 180mm rough-in toilet will leave a gap of ~120mm between the toilet and the wall, will this cause any issue for the plumbing compliance and therefore the OC? Will the gap have to be filled by some temporary structure which can be easily removed? Many thanks.
