Howd it go? Asking as a plumber

@@SULLY-yk4sh ... I did a great job. Very proud of myself. Thanks for the tutorial

Solidarity! Glad to see another older woman here! 💪

Yes ma'am I always encourage all women! And men alike also, everything is a KZfaq video away like this amazing helpful video!

❤❤❤

Thx for the comment and the sub ken!! Greatly appreciated👍

Yep, me too.

@@StudPack I'm about to attempt to do this by myself in my 1927 second story bathroom😳 No family or financial means to hire anyone. The Veteran's Administration office here is backlogged on help thru the VA. Wish me luck...I think I can do it, but I'm not going to lie, I sure wish you were my brother!

@@nicolemartin2976 Were you able to get the work done?

Thank you for the great info.

So does the twist work for cast iron or just PVC?

Literally just helped me in the biggest way, thanks man

AGREED ! :)

yep.👍🏽

I don't know about being a rare individual but indeed he did a good job with this install . Working in and around your home or apartment require the right tools and a little bit of patients that's all but people make it seem like rocket science or hard work it's not!

Awesome job!

Great video. Would be 100% if they added a link to that particular closet flange for people to purchase. I can't find it anywhere 😫

This was awesome to read! Thanks so much for posting this Sarah, makes the job a little easier :)

What type of flange did you get and where?

I know right! 😳 I was doing the same thing 🤣

Did you find the answer to this question? I'm trying to find it too.

What did you learn?

Hes very lucky those sparks didn't ignite any gas and blow the house up. That's one thing that should have been learned.

I’ve got 20 years in. I always have fun with the old lead stuff.

plastic flange is only temporary fix.

@@jsparlin1 i bet it lasts until your favorite six show up to drop u in a hole!

Thx Melvin 👊👍

What about the grinder sparks and sewer gas?

Thank you so much for this tutorial, you saved me from being in the doghouse with my wife for 2 days until a plumber could show up!!

Great Video learned something new. Don't quote me on this but it seemed that your cut of wheel wasn't cutting properly, as far as I know you had it upside down.

What's the part name or number sir? Great great video

Heads up to anybody using this adapter the rubber gasket will shrink over time drawing up across the opening and causing a blockage look for that about the 10-year mark

@@eliuselarom5651 you may want to reconsider this particular item and find a different option that doesn't use a rubber gasket that drinks so severely it draws across the opening causing a blockage

Back when musicians actually played instruments

Be wary of the rubber gasket shrinking and causing a blockage it happens with this unit, good luck.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thx Tracy 👍 glad we could help

I thought so too about this product until about the 10-year Mark when the rubber gasket head somehow shrunk and drawn up across the opening of the drain causing blockages period. So unless they have retooled the formula for the rubber you can expect the same at about the same time

Awesome glad it worked out for you 👍

Word of advice I would not use this particular adapter unit because the rubber is known to shrink and draw across the opening of the pipe causing a blockage

Thanks Patricia!! Glad it helped ya out

Thats what he said lol

That’s so cool. What year was that?

@@LPQTP Around 1965. I know. I’m old !😂

He’s my son 👍💪thx

Much appreciated Tim 👍👊

Thx Jack 👍

He did check ! It said 1/2” in the paperwork! As long as its not too high its fine! Finish floor height is what matters!

@@StonemanRocks Exactly. All toilets are slightly different (Toto has a very narrow gap) so it is important to check, and like you said you definitely don't want it too high as the toilet should sit on the floor, not on the plastic fitting. I think we are on the same page on this.

Nice tip

Hey I did that once too! It was the only time I was tearing a toilet apart and all o had was putty and creativity. Great minds think alike

Good tip ! Abatron makes some good epoxy for jobs like that. My house is from 1938 and I have used quite a bit of it for many jobs from woodworking to concrete.

Stephen what brand epoxy putty do you recommend? Garry, below recommends Rapidset mortar mix. What are the pros and cons of either choice? Thanks

@@kenweiss6720 I don’t recall the brand. I got it from Lowes and it came in a tube. You cut the amount you need and kneed it to combine the two ingredients. They are two different colors so when they are completely mixed they are uniform in color and have the consistency of clay.

Thx. She always has a to do list for me😂

Thank you for all your step by step instruction it really helps a homeowner that likes to do his own work

He saved his momma anout 500$ here l, where im living.

Heads up I've had some experience with this type of a adapter and You may want to rethink this particular product. I used it about 10 years ago and the rubber gasket overtime shrinks and draws up across the opening and causes blockages, so unless they've changed the formula that they make the rubber out of you should expect an issue about the 10-year mark. Good luck.

Awesome thx for watching 👍👍💪

Stainless and good stainless at that. The GRK he used are great screws. But they make a stainless version of them too.

How'd it go with yours?

@@4seeableTV Removal was as easy as shown in this video but installation was completely different as I had to use an offset flange because the original piping was too close to the wall and this caused many changes in procedure too long to go into here.

@@susty3938 thanks for the info.

Our pleasure! so glad it was helpful 👊💪

I would be interested to know if you have experienced the same problems with the rubber gasket on this unit shrinking up and drawing across the opening of the drain, causing blockages like I have? It usually starts about the 10-year mark

@@VikingVic76 Hi in the UK 🇬🇧 we don’t have the same type of fitting as you have in the USA 🇺🇸. All are toilet connection are of the push fit type . Most of the time the outlets are of the P bend type that goes out backwards. It is a far simpler type and they last a very long time.i will try to find some pictures of this fitting and get them to you so you can compare it with your set up .👍🏻😊👍🏻

@@alangarner4095 Thanx, that would be interesting, the Texas farmhouse I'm working on is over 100 yrs old & there's a lot of little differences to deal w/ like the 2×4 wall studs are actually 2"×4" but New studs are 1.5"× 3.5", so I'm curious to see what differences there are between the 2, plus the current American codes as well. I can build a house from ground up, but to be honest I find plumbing to be the most frustrating of all the trades it takes to build out a house.

Yes perfect timing and a Great video, I looked 2 week's ago and couldn't find anything thing to help with this issue. Going to try this today 👍

Thanks to you both👍

Wondering if it was installed properly...

Toiletception

Thanks for watching!

I like the idea of filling that gap between the original cast iron pipe and the foundation and tile. You could also use an epoxy putty there. Having talked about keeping ants (and maybe cockroaches) out, this will give a better preventive seal. Incidentally, sometimes it's not the foundation under all this, but a basement, and, depending on where in the basement that pipe is located, the 4" cast iron may go straight into the basement floor, or may make a right angle turn and either go through the wall at that point to the outside, or make a second right angle turn at the wall, to either run to floor there, or run nearly to the floor, then another right angle to the outside. If this is all accessible through the basement, some plumbers might cut off the cast iron down there somewhere, and replace it with PVC and a Fernco fitting, so that in a couple more years, he doesn't have to go back and replace that ancient leaking cast which has rusted through and is leaking. If you do that, you can then run the PVC all the way up to the toilet flange, and you won't need that expansion gizmo, just a bit of primer and glue.

What jeff said and don't caulk the toilet. It will cause problems. I'd rather have a wet sock to know there is a problem than probably rot out the rest of the floor by caulking the toilet. Ants? Really? I assure you if ants want in they will , but caulking the toilet is going to be a disaster.

@@dukefuller1171 ive seen a lot of people do this and I’ve had to rip out entire subfloors cause of this. Idk if they think that its protecting underneath or something when it reality it makes a big problem

Thx Marjorie 👍

I promise next time👍
