This is exactly what I was looking for. My house was built in the 60's and I have the old cast iron pipes, and my flange is broken on the basement toilet which is sitting on concrete flooring. Now I'm not afraid to give this a shot, I have the tools but haven't done this before. Wish me luck!

The flange that you bought is supposed to be twisted on, not hammered in. First you loosen the rubber to make it go in easier, then once you insert the flange you twist it and it will make the rubber expand and provide you with a better seal. That's why it's called Twist-n-Set. Also, never use WD-40 on a rubber, since it's petroleum based it will react with the rubber over time and make it disintegrate faster.

I just watched this again and I was told that to install you need to get the seal snug in hole and then turn the flange to get it to screw itself down into seal as close to floor as possible and then push it the rest of the way with holes for securing toilet in correct orientation.

@TIPSFORDUMMIES 4 жыл бұрын

Hello there! Whomever told you that, is totally correct and I should have mentioned that on the video. I appreciate you and Mike Nowlin made a comment about that, I hope new viewers see this comment, specially if they are dealing with a standard drain pipe size. The twist or turn of the flange is very true on the standard 3" or 4" toilet drain pipe, the only problem I had is that I was dealing with a 1950 Lead pipe and I tried to do that off camera and it did't work, it was extremely tight that the gasket keep coming off. So the only thing I can think of is that or either they use a different drain pipe size back then or the lead got deformed by the expansion and contraction of the concrete, perhaps somebody out there knows the answer. Thank you so much for watching my videos.

Turn the water connection to bottom of toilet counter clockwise not clockwise. (Lefty Loosey). Place a rag inside the 4 inch cast iron pipe to prevent debris into pipe. Remove inside corrosion with a flat tip screwdriver or scraper. Suck out debris with vacuum cleaner. The flange bolts shall be @ 12 inches away from back wall. Use a tape measure to ensure toilet mounting bolts are same distance away from the wall. Do NOT use a hammer or foot to beat the pvc toilet flange into place. The inside of pipe should have enough rust build up to easily install pvc toilet flange. Once the flange is in place, check with level. Bubble should be in middle of sight glass. Tapcon screws require a specific drill bill to remove concrete. Make a proper side hole. Like a standard 3/16” tapcon requires 5/32” drill bit. The screw package tell you exactly the drill bit needed.

I have this same exact drain setup and I'll be tackling this in a few days after my wall repainting is done. Is it better to install ring like you did or put the ring onto floor drain?

What I like about this PVC is that it goes deep inside the led pipe, some other rings that I seen don't go deep at all and that may create problems sooner than later, but at the end is about what you prefer to do. As you can see on this video the lip of the pipe was completely gone that is why I chose this kit.

I would NEVER use plastic closet flange. Too thick and will break if closet bolts are overtightened. There are stainless steel closet flange in different configurations, very thin, won't rust and will not break. I have replaced many plastic ones over the years, that were the cause of a "rocking" toilet due to being to thick for height above finished floor and or loose closet bolts due to cracked plastic flange. They should be banned by code.

Were you working on a concrete slab foundation? Mine is, and the lead has been bent in, in a couple of places. by the concrete guys, I guess. So the pipe where the gasket would set isn't round, and can't be bent into shape. Do you think that will that be a problem?

Hello, hey thanks for watching my videos, yes I was working on a concrete slab and the lead pipe was bent also, so I grabbed a hammer and I try to bend the pipe back to its original shape the best I could, it doesn't have to be perfect as long as the new flange goes inside the bend lead tube.if you manage to get the new flange inside the lead tube and as long as the lead tube is not torn or it has a hole, you are pretty much set. again thanks for watching my videos if you have any questions just let me know.

Has to be the worst video I've ever watched on KZfaq. You need to be ashamed and take that thing down.

Hey thanks, at least I am the best of the worst. Mr. Sound effect I am too old to get a shame for stuff.

The amount of luck demonstrated in this video is impressive : there is so much wrong and lucky with this video. #1 ( Lucky) successfully turning the supply water to the tank off without breaking the tank. #2 (Lucky not breaking or damaging the PVC replacement flange , (Wrong) pounding on it with a metal hammer and finally (shudder) stomping it into the waste pipe. #3 (Lucky and Wrong) finally not breaking the porcelain base by the method of removing the old flange bolts that once held the toilet securely to the flange. The possibility of contacting some serious disease is highly possible; with the example presented, any type of non allergenic glove would be better than the bare skin example. (Even a oven mitt or just a rag wrapped around the hand.) Please delete this video to not misdirect someone into following the examples presented.
