Plumbing fixture against wet wall

Description

Toilets and bathroom sinks should sit on a wall shared with another wet room or an exterior wall, never on a free-standing interior wall (cheaper plumbing, less noise).

Why this exists

Toilets, sinks, tubs, and showers must align with a wet wall. Floating fixtures in the middle of a room mean expensive, inefficient plumbing runs.
