over crank?

Yes, I noticed that too. I would have leveled the floor with some type of concrete first then set the flange.

roger joe. we still holding fast on this one.

Ken they are so handy...ha.

Thanks Robert. I learned dust can from tapcon site.

I have since switched to them....they are killer.

yes I got the air can tip from a tap con youtube vid. good stuff.

So many scenarios...you can step up size in tap cons...

cement is good. i left it though. it was a non factor in setting toilet securely.

its a toss up.

close enough ha.

omg...i wont tell my mrs.....my poor kitties eyes just opened up real real wide.....lol

working it. Haters.....love em

@@ChuckBarron we'renot haters. Some of us just do thing much differently. Why not back to a cast iron flange with a new lead joint? A 100 years compared to ?? Years?

not sure but last time I checked it was pvc drain system...I could of use a pvc insert glue but i chose these. i use them and they are sweet.

@@ChuckBarron was this system PVC or cast iron? If PVC. Yes why not use a glue on with a stainless steel flange. 1 a handi-man or homeowner can't crank down so hard on his closet bolts and flare this flange up. If it was PVC why not just remove the old flange from the outside of the pipe & glue on a new flange with a stainless steel flange? Easier than what this job was. Glued on hubs come right off. Sorry about my other post. I thought it was cast iron. But?? These were invented for handyman & homeowners to be able to do this kind of work. As a professional. "We" are supposed to put it back as close to original as we can. Or better. If you are just going to do Handi-man type of work. Why don't your customers just hire a Handi-man. Pay his hourly fees instead of a plumbers fees. Unless you are charging Handi-man fees?? Money is something you can't seem to talk about.

@@ChuckBarron they are sweet for a Handi-man or homeowner to use. Plumbers should be able to replace it or put it back to original. We should hold ourselves to a Higher Standard than just a Handi-man or homeowner. That's what I was always taught to do. I've seen someone cut the PVC pipe all to hell like you did here. Then they get those 3 lugs down so tight it expands the pipe down inside. Then I've had to rebuild this mess. Instead of taking this type of "repair flange" out and installing a new one because the owner has been tightning it down over the years. "Warped the flange". I've built an inside cutter so I can get way down inside the pipe. Cut it off at least 2.5 inches below the floor. Take a piece of 4 inch PVC pipe that has a factory glue hub on it. Cut the hub back to 2 inches. Then cut the pipe to 2 inches long. Are you with me? Take this piece and glue it to the sewer pipe that you cut 2 inches below grade. Then glue an original hearco flange on with a stainless steel hearco flange that should never rust out. Buy the good Stainless steel flange. Doing it this way. You should never have to change out the Hearco flange ever again. If for some reason you do. You pop the flange hub off the pipe. Glue on another one. Stainless steel flange..... Done the correct way. What I just explained to you was because you used this Repair flange in the first place. They expand the pipe when you tighten down the 3 lugs inside. Does any of this make sense to you?

someone told me that and I looked it up. Tapcon recommends it. it worked really good..

cb, try holding the vac and then blow... cuts down on your silica dust exposure!! Want to see you plumbing away for the next 100 years!!

thanks Kyle .....lol

Which inside cutter do you use?

I only use the impact also. Plus the 5/16 head. They don't strip out. Most Phillip's strip out when you try to install them with a drill. That was his first mistake

Well not his first mistake. But maybe his first mistake with the screws.

i tried the phillips with air can and worked good...I keep ya posted moving forward.

Thank you G

Yes..so many ways to do plumbing. I love it. Thanks Plumber.

Yes...they tiled around old flanges on entire job....push push push.....

@@ChuckBarron you used fast set cement on another video, surprised you didn't do it here. the way the pvc warped when you screwed it down because it had no level backing kindof made it feel less than ideal. in any case, you other video with the cement is what I used to redo my flange just today. substituted the blue tapcons for the stainless ones. thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Well lee stay dry my man.....and again it was a pvc flange with medal ring rusted out.

my knees are my surfing friend....i baby them...thanks T

come on. nothing good or bad? thanks for tuning in Keith.

@@ChuckBarron I just watched your video, and something struck me right away as not right. Why did you remove the plug before doing any work? Looks like a good bit of debris fell into the pipe.

What that a serious question ?

@@JjJj-yl6on Yeah, I mean in the video it doesnt look flat and one side is crooked

one screw did crank down more than the other but we were in game for sure. good eye plumber.

got er done.

you see my earlier response right?

rut row....got me....not good practice . good eye plumber. 👍

Your black.you Dont know shit.

At the Guard and Handle store..

@@edgarreyes9005 No, the shit goes down the big hole in the pipe, see you learned something..

borrowed that critter. even though i don't have a guard on mine either. true though-safety first

brother we getting it done real time ....what a mess this place was. all worked out though. Plumb on Robert.

Ms molly....such a trooper..

certain materials are filtered. color coded for sure.

I've used several mechanical flanges & never had a problem

Why use one if you can repair it the correct way?

not sure what your talking about bout that was pvc and i them flanges are boss to use..have you ever used one?

what is the correct way J?

pour a lead joint on a pvc pipe??

not sure on blade from back then...I am using diablo now.

@@ChuckBarron ok love your videos but not cb2 cuz u do all work

so many tools....

Couldn't get along with out mine

well lee its a pvc flange with medal ring rusted out.

Of course you don't. Mediocre can't see mediocre. 🤗

I'm sure cb knows how to drill and melt it out, if it was lead. With this particular flange the height is taller than the old metal PVC flange and thus he cut it lower so that the flange isn't so high. No worries! love the vids, always something to learn ...it's like smell o vision.

@@rickw4160 if it were a lead on flange. You dont need to melt anything. No heating required to remove an old metal lead on flange. The come right off with a metal chisel, 3 lb triple jack. 3 to 5 hits. Split it. Pliers pull the lead out. Chisel lifts the broken old flange out. Maybe 5 minutes worth of work. Sep your new flange. Pack in your oakum. Pour your lead joint, pack. Screw to floor. With this pvc flange he had. Split the PVC hub off the pipe with custom home made tool. Re-glue a new flange on to the pipe with a stainless steel flange. Drill and screw down. This complete job if done my way would have taken less time than it took him to cut the old one off. I would have been there maybe 30 minutes from start to finish and charge as much or more than he did. That's how you make money in this business.

@@rickw4160 I don't have or never have had a angle grinder in my van... I do have one in my shop. But I use it to build my truck frames and metal work like that.

Thanks J... I use them all the time....they are awesome.

Vernon F lol there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using this type of repair flange not sure what your talking about there buddy, they are used all the time easily serviced and can be replaced multiple times if need be.

those flanges are nice...been using them for years. especially on cast. I had 4" pvc on slab what would you use vern?

Nick, especially on cast iron. The dream right there.

4 inch on a slab could use 3 inch glue in to the inside of the pipe. Depending on slab thickness you could use an inside cutter and a coupling. I don't like what you used because of the Allen screw location. Too easy for paper etc to catch on and clog. Comment was a little on the harsh side, sorry about that I had a few in me last night

Well now. Someone else on the planet. Why not just pour it back like it was. It lasted with a cast flange not even screwed to the concrete for 75 to a 100 years. How long is this plastic going to last? I dont carry one of these plastic flanges in my van. I do always happy a 2x2 & a 2x4 cast iron flange. I'm a put it back to original type of guy. Plastic is fine for plastic. If you can't get the old glued on flange hub off. Sometimes you can. Sometimes you can't. But cast iron is really easy to put back to a 100 year original.

I kid you not, I have a Ryobi cordless impact drill and regular drill that I bought 12 years ago, and the damn things won't die. I beat the crap out of them every day in this trade, cause I want some nice new Milwaukee drills...and I can't seem to kill the Ryobi's.

yes my makita died on beginning of this flange. I was pissed. worked great too.

CB1 ordering a milwaukee asap.

I got ryobi stuff from 15 years ago that still works, not as good as my m18 stuff but it works

Suit up boys.....

stevie is awesome....stop back anytime. I have two cats.....ha.....Plumb On. 👍
