Hello,
When I tiled our bathroom a few years ago, the level of the tile caused the toilet flange to be slightly below the level of the tile. As a result, we have encountered a slight leak, which I am in the process of fixing.
I have removed the toilet and am preparing to add a flange extender and new wax ring. Here are my questions:
First, I was able to find two different heights of plastic flange extenders. Using the thinner one will put the top of the extender just about 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the floor. Using the thicker extender, it will put the top of the extender from about 3/8 to 1/2 inch above the floor.
Question: Which should I use, and should I use it with a standard wax ring or with a extra thick wax ring?
I'm thinking that the taller extender would go with the thinner wax ring, and that the shorter extender should go with the thicker wax ring,
but I need your help and advice.
Thanks,
Louis
