flange

Wanted to pull up old, cracked tile (which I could mostly do by hand) and replace with floor paneling. After toilet removal, discovered this for my flange (picture attached). It sits barely above that subfloor-- it sat below the tile. Pretty rusted, but can still hold closet bolts. Also, I think...

Hi All, I've got a leaking circulator pump on my boiler. It appears that the gasket has failed and the exposure has done some damage to the flange and possibly the pump housing as well. I'm certainly no plumber but I'm pretty handy, so I'm going to try and replace this myself. Here is a link...

Purchased a Jacuzzi Primo 6032 tub from Lowe’s. The first arrived smashed, I rejected it and had a replacement ordered. I unboxed the replacement today and inspected. The integral tile flange, which should be vertical, ends with a horizontal curve that extends 1/4 - 1/2 inch on all 3 sides. The...

Long time reader, first time poster. I just finished my first bathroom gut and remodel where the forum was invaluable in researching ideas and best practices. I'm now moving onto my second bathroom remodel. I have everything squared away, with the exception of the bathtub. I'm trying to hone...

My toilet started leaking a bit ago, and it has progressively gotten worse. Upon removing the toilet one of the closet bolts has broken, so I have to replace the flange. However, the flange isn't set in there like a normal flange, and I'm not sure how to move forward. If you notice in the...

. Hello. I am not a plumber. I'm just some schmuck who thought he could figure things out on his own. And while the toilet replacement went reasonably well, there is one problem. The previous toilet had a 1950s manufacturing date and sat nice and flat on the floor. The flange is ABS and so I...

I am trying to install a Waste King garbage disposal below a farmhouse sink. It is not working because the flange that came with the disposal is too short. The part at the top of the disposal that is supposed to screw onto the flange can't screw on because the threaded part of the flange does...

Hi all, I am making a toilet repair. Here is where I am and what I am thinking. I have a 4 inch ABS DWV pipe that now sits open about 4 inches below the surface of the tiled floor which I think generally speaking is pretty far away. The pipe elbows 90 degrees about 1.25 inch below its open...

I tried to install a used american standard toilet into my new house from my old house that worked fine, but the horn is about 3.25in wide and the opening of the pipe in the flange is 3 in. What should I do? I was thinking one of two things: Buy a new toilet (probably upgrade to a Toto) Or...

Hello, I poked around through the archives, but was unable to locate an answer to my question, but sorry if this has already been asked and answered a million times... I've gutted an old bathroom and reframed to make it level, square and plumb by sistering 2x8s to the existing joists, building...

We had our bathroom re-tiled and now need to reinstall the toilet. Subfloor is concrete. The flange looks rusted and we aren't sure it will bolt down the toilet and be secure (see pic below). Are we ok to just add spacers to get to the right height and reinstall or does this flange need to be...

Bought a 1950s Cape last August and immediately remodeled the main floor bathroom. Put a new toilet in (a cheap dual-flush model from Sam's Club--which might be the problem but I'll continue) and had some water around the base after a few days. Since the pipe is cast iron leading to PVC in the...

Greetings! I have just completed the reinstallation of a garbage disposal into a new stainless sink in our kitchen, and while the install appears to have been successful, I am concerned about one thing. The previous sink into which this disposal was installed was essentially flat on the...

Several issues here BUT...main bath toilet leaked from underneath...figured wax ring was shot & pulled up the toilet. I found that previous owners had tiled over tile and just grouted around outside of flange. Roots from outside the pipe broke through the grout and destroyed wax ring...after...

Hi all. I'm trying to remodel my kids' bathroom.Backstory: this past Spring, I paid a company with good reviews to come out and replace the old tub/shower with a new one. I wound up underwhelmed because of this: Currently, I'm in the thick of a portion of the project with the end goal of...

Hi there, I'm new to this thread and a first time home buyer. We're redoing our bathroom and found that our rough-in will be about 11.0" - 11.25" from our finished wall (we'll have tile on the wall). Our contractor is telling us that we'd need to find a 10" toilet or a 12" toilet that will fit...

Guys, I'm in desperate need of some help guys. My new floor will be installed soon. This is what i'm dealing with. PVC flange with metal ring. PVC part of flange is very tight on the main pipe, i was thinking to use a 2 piece replacement metal flange then on top spacer to level with new...

Hello, I'm a newbie when it comes to plumbing and I'm currently renovating my basement bathroom (house was built in 73) I noticed upon removing the old toilet that there was on flange, the bolts were in the concrete and there was just a rubber ring and old wax behind it. The pipe is rusted...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this website and wondering how the Community thought about Toilet Seals. If costs were not an issue, and based solely on performance and reliability, which type of Toilet Seal would you recommend when installing a Toilet? 1) Tradition Wax 2) Tradition Wax WITH...

Hey all, I'm installing a two handle tub and shower faucet. Instead of being encased in a 2x4 wall it's a 4x2, so a narrow wall. The bonnet that the handle attaches to sticks out about two extra inches and looks kinda funny with the handle. Are there any flanges that could cover that for a more...
