ABSTRACT:
A toilet of the free-standing type having a bowl fixture adapted for being secured to a floor whereby there is a floor drain for receiving the bowl discharge, the floor drain being spaced by an indeterminately given rough-in distance from a wall. A tank fixture is secured to the bowl fixture with the tank fixture proximate the wall for supplying water for flushing of the toilet bowl. The bowl fixture includes a bowl siphon communicating with the bowl and the siphon having a discharge opening is spacedly remote from the floor drain. The discharge opening is presented rearwardly of the bowl and toward the wall. Connected at one end of the siphon discharge opening is a discharge conduit arrangement for receiving the bowl discharge via the siphon. Connected at its opposite end to the floor drain, such arrangement adjustably accommodates variation in the spacing between the siphon discharge opening and the floor drain to permit the bowl fixture to be secured to the floor at a desired location indpendent of the rough-in distance.
