I am having a new toilet installed. The existing waste line has a lead riser to a brass closet flange. The flared lead riser has detached from the brass flange and split radially in the area that contacts the flange. I am looking at having the riser cut flush with the floor and installing a 3" twist and set flange. The throat opening is only 2" diameter. My questions are as follows.
1. What are peoples experience with these twist and set style flanges? Are they reliable solutions for a long term installation?
2. Should I expect the 2" throat diameter to clog frequently?
The floor elevation will require the toilet to be shimmed. I had mentioned to the handyman doing the install that plastering the toilet may be a better option than shimming. This is to avoid a heavy caulk bead around the toilet. What is the proper method for plastering a toilet? A brief order of the installation sequence is all I really need to know. BTW...what is the overall feeling about this method.
Thanks in advance.
