Hi all,
I'm replacing an ancient toilet in my house. Unfortunately, after yanking the old beast out, I found the closet flange is about 3/8" (as much as 1/2" on one side) below the tile surface. I have seen you recommend against the extra-thick flanges with funnel attached, but should I use one here (this is the one Dad picked up for me: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1272861)? I've also see you recommend against those flange extension kits, so is this a case where you'd recommend stacking two wax rings? If so, am I stacking one standard ring atop the closet flange, then one with a funnel attached atop that to keep it aligned or just two standard wax rings? Thanks for the help!
