toilet flange

Hello, I'm new on the forums, I just bought a house though so likely will be on here more in the future. I hope this is the right place to ask this. The situation is we bought a house, and knew one of the toilets was cracked. We turned off the water to it right away and emptied it and removed it...

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’m getting ready to install a new tile floor in the bathroom I’ve been renovating, and making toilet flange considerations before hand. When I moved the toilet location, I installed a 3 inch 90 elbow instead of a 4 inch to 3 inch closet elbow (which I didn’t yet know existed!). I knew that I...

The drain flange that the toilet ties down to was broken. I couldn’t find a replacement that would fit onto the existing fitting so I dug down and cut the old one off. The problem is that the drain pipe itself is an odd ball size. The ID is 3” and the OD is 3 7/8”. No flange assembly that Home...

I'm installing a toilet in a bathroom basement. The drain pipe is 4" and the flange is designed to fit inside it. I cut the drain pipe flush with the floor. I dry fit the flange about half way, pulled it out and primed/glued it back in only it wouldn't go all the way down. It sat about 1/2"...

I’m curious if anyone has used the Sioux Chief 887-GPM Push Tite in cast iron. I’ve seen pictures of the actual product with a sticker saying it can be used in CI but their tech sheet online says its for schedule 40 DWV pipe. Picture added by Terry Love

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.
