I'm installing a Jones Stephens torque set cast iron closet flange and have a few questions. (See attached picture)
The floor is a 3/4" plywood subfloor with 1/4" CBU, suntouch mat, approx 1/4" of mud/thinset over the mat, nobleseal TS then tile thinset on the nobleseal.
I've installed the lower half of the two piece flange roughly level with the CBU which results it the top flange resting on the top of the finished tile when it is bolted into the lower flange. The CI closet bend sticks up approx 1/8" above the finished floor.
I'm ready to install the top flange and want to make sure I on the right track. The top flange installs with 3 bolts into the lower flange and also expands a rubber ring on the lower flange that seals to the pipe O.D.
1) Is the height correct? (I've read in some postings that the top of the flange should be flush with the floor)
2) How do you remove the rubber test cap? I assume you cut it out somehow
3) I'd like to have the already installed floor membrane seal around the closet flange somehow. Right now it covers the top surface of the lower flange (with the CI closet bend sticking thru). Can I i just caulk where the two halves of the flange fit into each other and/or just let the membrane material get pushed in where the two halves fit together?
Thanks
