How do you check the rough-in from a closet flange to the wall?
- Plumbing
- Rough-In
- Accuracy
A closet flange set short of the rough-in leaves the bowl against the wall and the tank fighting the trim; set it long and the fixture sits proud of the finished tile. The T1R Range takes that dimension without pushing a blade into a corner, where compression bows the tape and reads long. The laser goes flange to wall while the number sits on a backlit screen you can read from standing height, and it saves against the fixture so the plumber and the tile setter work off one figure.
How the rough-in gets confirmed
- T1R shoots flange to wall, no bowed blade
- Backlit reading visible from standing height
- Push and pull methods both shown
- T1R saves the number against the fixture
- Plumber and tile setter share one dimension
The video takes the dimension from a cast-iron closet flange out to the finished wall on a tile floor, first with the blade pushed toward the wall and then with the laser, reading in the 13 to 19 inch range. It is the push-versus-pull question every plumber has an opinion about: a pushed blade flexes and a pulled one needs something to hook, and neither is easy on a floor with a fixture in the middle of it.
