Our bathroom is tiny,so I bought a Corner Toilet to give more space to the bathroom. I need to move the drain 10 inches. Is there any sort of Retro kit,for adapting or moving the old drain ?

    That is a HUGE job and you're better off getting a plumber to do it. You don't want to have any leaks from a toilet drain!

    Hi Maureen, I don't believe there is any safe way to retrofit the drain as it must be done in an approved way so no sewer gas backs into your bathroom. For safety's sake, please have a licensed plumber take a look and provide you advice.

    No retro fit. The old flange and elbow will need to be removed. New elbow and flange placed in new location and tied into existing drain. Best for a plumber to do. May even need a permit.

    Hopefully it’s only one story home. It would be a bit easier as everyone has said there is no way to retro fit the drain and have it work properly.
