What is the distance from my finished wall to the toilet ring? I think I read somewhere in the past that it was 12" to the center of the ring?

Also do I install this ring on top of my 1/4" cement board? Cement board in for the future tile.

Thank you

If you mean "wax-ring", when you say toilet ring.
Don't install it on the sub-floor, the cement-board, tile!!!!
It goes against the "toilet-flange" on the plumbing and seals against the bottom of the toilet.
The more you raise the toilet; in relation to the floor -
the thicker wax-ring you're going to need!

Yeah - the distance from the wall to the center (where the bolts on the floor-flange are)
is usually 12 inches -
Remember -
If you're building out the walls (cement-board, tile, etc...)
That will decrease the distance!!

Center of flange- no less then 12" to face of finished wall
Top of flange should not be below finished floor level- my opinion

Oops sorry meant toilet flange. Ok no less then 12" from center of flange to finish wall. If I install it on top of the cement board and then tile around it would it be flush with the tile? If you like it higher than the finish floor should I built it up another 1/4" or whatever the tile thickness is so it higher then the tile (finish floor)?

Cement board - under-layment does not go over the the toilet flange on the floor!!!

Good!!
"TheEplumber" has shown up!!
That person can make things clearer!

Happy Holidays!

Generally you want the flange slightly above the finished floor. Never below it.

Ross yes I understand the cement board does not go over the flange thank you.

Just trying to be; somewhat, clear!
