toilet flange

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...

Hi everybody! I'm still redoing my bathroom :) And here is the quick question about toilet flange: It sits on plywood subfloor. We used to have linoleum. Plan to install floating vinyl panels on PVC backing with interlocking ridges, about 1/4-3/8" high. Should I raise the flange? It's all...

Basically, someone glued in the toilet seal to the house plumbing. The foundation shifted (presumably) and the house plumbing (PVC) split into 2 pieces. The split is about 6" deep into the slab foundation. Part of the split includes the very top section of a 90 deg elbow and extends through that...

DIY'er here...(I should be a DDIY'er = Don't Do It Yoursefl) Anyway, I just retiled my bathroom floor from 1997. Original floor had ceramic tile set directly on plywood. PVC toilet flange was screwed into plywood. I put a new layer of cement board over the plywood, screwed it in and then set...

I'm renovating a bathroom and I need to extend the existing 4 in. (steel or cast? I'm not sure which) waste pipe in order to attach a PVC toilet flange. The lip of the existing pipe will be about 4-6 in. short of the finished floor height. Should I use a compression donut and reduce the pipe...

We're wanting to move the toilet using an offset flange. We want to cut off the existing flange but it doesn't look like there is enough room to attach the offset. I'm including photos that appear that someone butt-joined a short ring in there and I've never seen anything like that. (sorry I...

I'm in the process of changing the wax ring at the bottom of the toilet. I'm going for one of the cool Sani Seal green rings. The toilet is very old, but still works find. I had it upside down outside and was shaking the bottom of it to drain water from the bowl, and this black rubber thing fell...

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...
