Toilets at BVX Home Supply are graded liquidation stock, cash & carry from our Paterson, New Jersey warehouse. Rough-in is the distance from the wall to the floor bolts, rim height is the bowl's height off the floor, and flush rating is how much water it uses per flush.
Read four numbers before buying a toilet: the rough-in, the distance from the wall to the floor bolts; the rim and seat heights, measured from the floor; and the flush rating, in gallons per flush. Together they tell you whether a toilet bolts to your floor, how high it sits and how much water it uses.
| What to read | Common values | Where the number lives |
|---|---|---|
| Rough-in | Most toilets bolt 12 inches from the wall | Floor, measured from the finished wall to the bolts |
| Rim height | About 15 inches traditional, 16-1/2 inches chair height | Bowl, measured to the rim |
| ADA seat height | 17 to 19 inches, measured to the top of the seat | Seat, per the 2010 ADA Standards |
| Flush rating | 1.6 gallons per flush federal standard, 1.28 gallons per flush or less for WaterSense | Check the listing |
A one-piece toilet differs from a two-piece by arriving as a single sculpted unit built from six to ten individual pieces, with the tank and bowl already attached, while a two-piece toilet ships with the tank and bowl separate, bolted together during installation.
Check a toilet's bowl and tank for cracks, especially near the bolt holes and the base, confirm the tank lid is present, and check that the flush handle and the bolts holding the tank to the bowl move and seat properly.

For the method behind measuring rough-in on your own floor, see the measuring guide, and the inspection guide explains what to check on a toilet before it goes home with you. The pickup planning guide lists the gear and the number of people a toilet needs for the trip home.

ADA height on a toilet refers to a seat that sits 17 to 19 inches above the finished floor, measured to the top of the seat, per the 2010 ADA Standards for accessible facilities. Check the specific listing's seat height against that range before buying for an accessible bathroom.
Check the specific toilet's listing to see whether a wax ring and floor bolts ship inside before assuming either is included. When the listing does not mention them, plan to buy both separately before install day instead of guessing every toilet includes them.
Yes. A one-piece toilet's tank and bowl form one seamless unit, with no crevice between them to collect dirt and odors. A two-piece toilet has a separate tank and bowl, bolted together upon installation. Check which of the two designs the specific listing shows before you buy.
Rough-in is the distance from the wall to a toilet's floor bolts, and toilets come in a variety of rough-in sizes to fit different bathroom layouts. Measure your own floor's rough-in distance before shopping, then match it against the listing, rather than guessing from the old toilet's brand or age.
