closet flange

Hey y'all, I am looking for some advice on how best to raise a recessed closet flange. I releveled the bathroom floors, and need to raise the existing brass closet flange up 3/4" of an inch. Raising it 3/4" of an inch will put the new closet flange on top of the new flooring. The existing...

I am nearing the end of my DWV install and terminating the closet and shower drains are confusing me. I do have access to the crawl space under both fixtures. I tend to overthink things, but I can't seem to convince myself it will be easy. I have a stainless steel flange that will fit over...

We live in an older house and are updating some of the fixtures in our powder room. After removing the existing toilet, I knew that we might have a problem with the existing closet flange. The flange itself seems it good condition, but sticks up about 1/2" to 5/8" above the finished tile...

I'm replacing the toilet flange and bend in a floor framed with 2x8s. The existing horizontal pipe that connects to the stack is 3" diameter. In the area where I live, the only option for a suitable closet bend that will fit in the joist cavity is a 3" x 4" hub X hub closet bend, which seems...

I removed an old toilet with 12 inch rough in to replace it with a newer design. To my surprise, the closet flange was oval rather than round. I believe it is a Proplus 94848. (See attached photo.) Apparently it was used because the rough in was only about 11 inches. What is the best way to...

I had a leaky toilet in bathroom I gutted to remodel. Cut old broken ABS flange off 90 degree hub that it was directly connected to. Drain pipe is 3”. The flange was not on top of the finished tile like it should be. After cutting, the hub now sits 3/8 below subfloor. But since it was welded...

I've been in this home for a year. I have no history on the plumbing work. Drain waste is cast iron. After removing this toilet that started to rotate, I discovered the flange had sheared off. It seems the cast iron riser to the toilet was replaced, but I can't figure out material it is. It has...

We're remodeling an old, old bathroom. The closet drains to the stack with a cast iron 4" elbow, with a 1 1/4" heel inlet for the bathroom lav and tub drain?!? There haven't been any drainage issues (probably b/c water pressure is so low). But since we have it open we want to increase the...

Do they make an EXTENDED 4”x 4” spigot style PVC closet flange? My 4” fitting is below the tile and encased in concrete, and my 4” spigot closet flange will only end up being about 5/8” into the fitting once the floor is finished and I solvent weld the closet flange into the 4” fitting. Or, is...

DIYer here. 1st time poster. I pulled my toilet to replace the floor tile (& new toilet) on my 1955 homes concrete slab. Now, with the tile reinstalled, the flat repair split ring flange is barely level with the tile when pulled up by hand to its highest level. A plumber gave me the ring...

Okay, so decided to tackle a home bathroom remodel. Bathroom has ugly pink 1 inch tile and I tear it out. Find out the subfloor is rotted so I replace that. Problem is, I cut the new subfloor around the flange, not thinking that the flange might have to be bolted to something. I redo the tile...
