Just want to say that this forum has been so helpful during our bathroom remodel, thank you!
We are about to install a new toilet. After removing many layers of flooring, our lead flange now sits about 5/8 in. above the finished tile floor.
I have hesitation that the toilet will be too high once toilet is placed on the flange with the wax ring. There is about 1 in. clearance underneath the toilet, and the wax ring that came with the toilet also has a funnel. We have purchased an Oatey stainless steel replacement flange to fit underneath the lead flange. We have also purchased shims to accommodate the extra height. There is also a crack on the edge of the lead flange, will this be a problem.? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
