Installing a toilet under a banjo countertop. Need about 3/8" more to clear. Do they make narrow after market tops for Pro Flo toilets?

    I’d probably have one made out of a white quartz cost should be reasonable since the fabricator could use sink cutouts or other scrap.

    This is a universal tank cover. It is supposed to fit over many different types of tanks.

    There is a company called "Zoro"? ( I'm not sure that's their name.) But they offer different types of covers

    Maintenance of that toilet is going to be a challenge. 😳

    Hi I agree with @PC7060 . Is there any way to make a piece of the countertop above the toilet removable? That would eliminate the need for a different toilet top and allow for maintenance, which will absolutely be needed, particularly if access is next to impossible 🤯

    Yours, Larry

    I have repaired toilets installed this way. NO ROOM TO WORK! Awful but it happens. You have to pull the tank off of the bowl and put it back on the bowl with the proper adjustments and pray that you got it right the first time.

    @Larry Weingarten I also agree with @PC7060 A remnant cut from the sink hole is the best way to go and the best looking. The trouble with this, in this particular case, and if I'm reading the post correctly, means that they need a 3/8 inch thick cover. So the cut needs to be 3/8 inch thick to fit under the countertop and on the toilet tank. I haven't seen a remnant cut in that manor. I'm wondering if it can be done without cracking.

    I read as the standard top was 3/8" too thick. Hopefully that's the case.

    Ray,

    We keep a 4.5" wheel hand grinder on our work truck. It's handy for smoothing imperfections on toilet bowl bottoms, enlarging pedestal openings, cutting steel or iron piping, removing tankless coil bolt heads, and, altering toilet tank lids as needed when the wall is too close, etc.....

    Here's a different type of tank cover we beveled with our grinder
