I recently had a new bathroom installed and the toilet flange was set on top of the tile but was not screwed to the floor. I let this go because this is a slab foundation and the pipe/flange was supported by the tile.
The tile and 1.5" mudbed had to be removed because the mud bed wasn't installed correctly. When the new tile was installed it was notched around the flange and the flange was not screwed to the floor. So now the flange is floating 1.5" above the slab. The drain is 3" pvc.
I know that the weight of the toilet is being carried by the tile but does this installation run the risk of cracking the flange and/or the drain pipe?
