flange

We cannot tell you because we don't know what the flange, and pipe, material is. But if the flange broke, then it was because it was ready to, not because you installed the toilet.

What are the pipes made of? Is it a 4" or 3" drain line? Does the old flange attach to the outside or inside of the pipe?

From what I read, if you take a hacksaw and carefully cut through the flange to the pipe in a few places, you can peel the old one off and clean it up and glue in a new one.

Oatey compression flange....Lennox repair spanner flanges

I think, or I am about 75% sure

they make an OATEY compression flange that will

simply slide down into that 4 inch pvc pipe......


all you got to do is break off the old flange and get it

flush with the floor then insert that new flange down into

the pipe and simply take an allen wrench and tighten it down


ALSO Lennox makes spanner repair flange parst that simply go underneath

either side of the flange that has been broken off.... they work great too...


have a great time...
