My toilet flange is too low after having a tile floor installed. The top of the flange in one bathroom is about 1/2 inch from the top of the new tile. I need to raise the flange so the bottom of the flange sits on the tile.
About 5 years ago when the floor was installed I purchased a Danco Perfect Seal Toilet Wax Ring that's made out of some type of rubber/flexible material. It lasted about 5 years and then caved in on one side allowing sewer gas to leak in the house making one family member very sick.
I need to put something in that's permanent and really works.
I've seen PVC Flange Spacers in in the big box store. My question is how are these attached to the regular flange that's glued to the sewer pipe? Also, how are they attached to each other?
I will have to use several spacers. Can they be glued together with PVC cement?
If so what is the best product to use to completely clean the old sticky wax ring so the PVC cement will have good adhesion?
I also assume once the adapters are used and the flange is brought up to the correct height a standard wax ring should be sufficient to go from the flange to the bottom of the toilet?
Thank you in advance for your help.
