Wide show arm flange?

[Pat G.]

My half-wit tile installer (aka me) went a little crazy with the angle grinder and about 1/4" of the cuts show behind the Moen-supplied shower flange, which is a standard 2 1/2" OD.

I've tried googling to find a wide flange to no avail. Does such a thing exist? Any other ideas on hiding/fixing my error short of trying to remove the grout and tile?

(not sure why the photo appears sideways on my screen, but I can assure you that I was actually smart enough not to install the shower arm 90-degree off from where it should be!)

I think the shower arm size is a little smaller OD than 1/2 IPS.

Thanks, Reach4! I was all over Homer and couldn't seem to find that one. 3" should do the trick and I greatly appreciate the link!

A larger flange should solve that, but if you take the goo from your wetsaw after cutting some tile, let it dry, then mix it with some epoxy, you might be able to fill those cuts in and not be too noticeable. This assumes that the tile are a through-body (but it looks like those are glazed, so it probably wouldn't work).

The problem with searching for a wider flange is that you're really looking for a wider escutcheon

order part #RP34356 3" shower flange from Delta 800-345-DELT in the finish you need. They may even just send it to you if you just tell them you need it, and not why you need it.
