toilet flange

Hello, wise plumbing elders! I'm remodelling my bathroom and I'm redoing down to the subfloor! It's my first time plumbing a toilet, so I've lots to learn; hopefully you can set me on the right path! On pulling out my old toilet, I noticed that it had a brass flange with a lead sleeve that was...

I cut the four inch PVC down to where the toilet flange would be at finished floor level but it won’t go down into the pipe. It only goes in about 5/8”. I was thinking of cutting it down to where inserting about that far would leave me at finished floor level and epoxing it in for strength. Is...

The waste pipe (sorry if not proper name) was at one time a 4" pipe set into the concrete foundation. I need to replace the flange and it is about 3 1/2" wide one way and a little over 4" the other. What is best type of floor flange to use so I can mount the new toilet? Is it an issue to just...

Bathroom remodel and not only is the center drain on Schlueter 48 x 48 right on top of double floor joists, the mortar bed had to be removed and now my toilet waste flange (which rotted away) is extraordinarily high and right against the joist with an offset flange. The flange needs to be...

Hi everyone! I have started remodeling a washroom and having a bit a problem with the toilet flange height. I have installed a new plywood on top of old sub floor (as those old ones are not very strong) and planning on installing uncouple membrane then the tiles. Currently (after installing...

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...

Currently having issues replacing the flange. I pulled off the old one and got the filler which was completely lead. But it didn’t sit outside the pipe it was in a odd dip before the actual U. Need some advice here as I only have so much funds and can’t afford a plumber.

Hello. Hoping for some info. I have 4" PVC protruding through concrete slab on grade. I am going to install the toilet flange and set a toilet. A couple of conditions exist and I thought I would check on my steps for the job. First, the construction on this house has me strapped for...

Greetings! My main floor toilet leaked on me the other day (basement bathroom is directly below). The issue is the flange was not attached to anything. The previous remodeler decided to cut a hole in the floor and not attach the toilet to anything except the cast iron pipe below it (with at...

Hi, Brand new member here. Looking forward to “meeting” you all and learning a lot more about plumbing. I did search on this first. Anyway, my question is: can a 3 in. “PVC DWV 90 Degree Spigot x Hub Street Elbow” be directly connected to the toilet flange?

Hey all, I'm working on a small bath room remodel currently and was thinking about putting a wall hung toilet and sink in. To do so, I was planning on adding an additional 2x4 half-wall frame adjacent to the existing wall to fit the Gerberit system in...

Anyone with experience with this flange. I have it connected to my 4 inch diameter cast iron connection and the 3 stainless steel screws to tighten and expand the rubber seal doesnt tighten all the way to its capacity. It probably has 1/2 inch left throughout b4 completely raised up to max and...

Ok, this is probably an easy question and a stupid one. I was repairing a toilet that had leaked. I removed the toilet to clean up and then put in a new wax ring. Of course the flange screws/bolts were stripped so I bought new ones. What do the bolts connect to? Because of the flange and...

My toilet flange is broken. I noticed the toilet was loose and it looks like both of the notches where the bolts go are broken. See attached picture. Is there enough flange left to use a stainless steel repair ring? There is also a picture with the repair ring in place. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am in the middle of a toilet replacement in my bathroom and when I removed my old toilet, I discovered that the toilet flange was installed as follows: There is a 3" cast iron waste pipe (vertical), ending about 8 inches below the floor level. Into that cast iron pipe, a 3" ABS pipe...

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...

Hey all, looking to see if anyone knows where to find what I'm looking for.... Pulled an old toilet out of my bathroom (built in '49) and the old cast iron flange was toast. No problem, cold chisel and it was gone. Looking at my discharge pipe for toilet and the inside diameter of the pipe is...

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 am renovating a bathroom in my home. I decided to replace the old flange with a new one (first mistake). the old flange was 3" pvc solvent welded into the 4" drain pipe. removing the old flange was a nightmare and in the process I wound up breaking the top of the drain pipe in several places...

I have a 2nd floor leak under a toilet at the joint just past the offset toilet flange above the bend. Water leaks when flushing the toilet and when the shower is running. It looks like the connecting pipe above the bend has been cut and reconnected to the offset flange a couple of times, and...
