I love that you didn't mention anything about losing the piece😂😂

Here for the drill bit down the drain comments

Rip the 5/16🫡

Say a prayer for that bit.

My guy lost his Malco 2in1 bit💀

Looks good buddy 👍 did you lose a bit down the drain? I've been there 😂

If you caulk around the bottom it will trap water ruining the floor if / when the seal fails. If you leave it open the seal failure will be obvious. I’ve fixed a couple of caulked bases. I had to replace the floor in one of them.

Two words... Magnetic tape

Plumber here! Sometimes you can see where the caulking was on the floor even after it's cleaned up If there's a toilet installed with a different footprint.

"hey boy you cut that floor not in a perfect circle, get off my jobsite. "boy you also lost my $50 drill but, get back to that pro press"

Thanks for leaving the lost bit clip on the video! Great for a laugh! Great video as always!

OUTFUCKINGSTANDING! I usually put all spare parts down the shitter! 😂😂😂👌👌👌

I know nothing about plumbing, but I've learned that some ppl don't like to reduce the diameter of the drain.

Always bothered me how you never stuff a rag or anything in the flange and this video is a perfect example why you should start lol

“Hey Boi!” Will NEVER get old. Love your work RE Plumb! 🫡

Hayyy boyyy you gonna retrieve that bit you dropped down that closet flange… ide kick ya outta my job site for that 😂😂😂😂

Oh that’s interesting to see two wax rings in one install. Never seen it before, then again I’m new to plumbing. Thanks for another vid of great work man.

So glad to see a community of i saw you dropped something.

Always nice when you drop your tools down the drain line

That noise at the end was fire

This was a good reminder that it can be helpful to put a rag or something in the drain when you're working on it so nothing falls in. Just remember to take it back out before putting the toilet back!

Did you drop the impact bit into the drain 😜

Lol the bit falling into the tube is a funny detail. I'm not talking trash, I like your videos :D

Glad I saw this, I think I could use it for a better mounting of the existing throne

I was taught not to caulk the base so if there was a leak from the wax ring it would show on the bathroom floor instead of it not showing till it got to the downstairs ceiling or warped the flooring under it

"Hey boy." I love it!!

Dam I hate when I lose my bit down the drain I seen that lol

Perfect plumbing.10/10 My average review is 3/10, I always fully explain negative reviews. Excellent.

I might’ve missed it but tell us about how you became a plumber, what made you want to be a plumber, etc? Thank you for the great content!

That impact bit went straight down the drain, let's hope it doesn't create a blockage in the future 😂

Not to be too critical but the only thing I would do as I've changed my toilet supplies from a plastic nut to a metal nut. And my replacement fill valves have a brass shank

The nut driver falling from its holder into the abyss was hilarious, thank you for that.

Love the bird squawking voice for the complainers,, lmao 😂 good to see people having fun while working. Keep it up!

NICE! I use a vacuum when I pull & reset.

Boy back in my day we didn’t drop shit down customer’s plumbing 😂

People ask me sometimes to not caulk base and I say "nope"! I even caulk them on carpet Live by the Code!

Love your content. I'm a plumber, completely against caulking a toilet, just curious as to why you like doing it, most plumbers I know won't do it. Always like to get other point of views

Just a suggestion as a woodworker/non-plumper. You could consider using the Milwaukee palm router with a flush trim or round over bit to widen the gap around the flange. That way you could avoid the ugly marring lines with the multi tool and makeshift chisel. Just a thought!

I have heard of plumbers stuffing the drain with cloth to prevent things like that bit/screw from falling in

I had to replace half of a bathroom floor the other day, the toilet was caulked and the floor was particle board under the linoleum tile.

My buddy works for an Enclosure company so he gives me small high powered magnets that he doesnt need. I always keep them in the van for when my dang inside cutter falls out of my drill down the drain!

I can't believe how many compression valves you come across. NJ it's mostly threaded chrome or sweat with extension.

The toilet outlet and insert being smaller than the closet bend is a great thing. Things I find in toilets that you don't want getting past the toilet: Pens, wall mounted door knob stop with fastener and drywall anchor, Spider brand anti theft device, a hotel entry key card(same size as a credit card), matchbox car, various other toys, a whole syringe from a heroine addict. And all those are examples of why you try to pull things out of toilets when you are using a plunger or toilet auger. If the clog is only paper, you'll usually break it up on the first go, and it'll all go down on the next flush. Things that made it past drains and caused or almost caused a floor, walls, or cieling to be torn up to access pipes: lid to one gallon jug, rag, Salonpas pain patch(they are tough cloth), tree roots, including roots that actually entered into a flange mounting hole from under a slab.

Did you get the bit back 😢

Never caulk the toilet bowl at the floor. NEVER.

you don’t use that oscillating tool often do ya? 😂❤

Something dropped into that drain bro.

we all make mistakes and he is a badass plumber!!!!

That Milwaukee drill down the drain is crazy 😂😂😂

Nice mount. Thanks for not using bolt cutters for cutting the bolts to length and double nuts will make this an easy pull if needed.

Why didnt you put any caulking around the flange extension? Between the plumbing and the flooring should be caulked, right in case of future water damage or back up issues damaging the flooring.

Just a question I could’ve sworn I observed something fall off the back of your drill down through the toilet closet upon inserting the second stainless steel. Screw in that nice pretty yellow flange was there great Contant dude by the way, I watch your stuff all the time.

Good work man

If you caulk the base of your toilet, could you possibly have more water damage before noticing if your wax ring is compromised?

👍👍good job

Wait, I bought one of these kits at least partly due to this video - but the kit doesn’t use 2 wax rings. Is there a specific reason you decided to install that first wax ring around the floor flange?

Question, when someone asks you to do something that you know is going to cause a problem later, do you note that on the paperwork and have them initial that you made them aware of the potential issue?

Thank You! NEVER CAULK A TOILET 💯

Why didn't you fit the flange first to cut the flooring around it? Looks like you dropped a bolt down the drain. I think this was sloppy work. I generally stuff a rag into the flange until I'm ready. Why do you feel its important to saw the flange bolts?

No, the reason to not caulk the toilet is to be able to know when the leak happens because the water will leak out from underneath the toilet rather than make the floor moldy until it degrades and then causes a bigger leak

I’m a pro plumber, in a a high end bathroom i would recommend to never caulk the toilet as you can always see the caulking and after years of cleaning a bathroom floor with different chemicals the caulking never holds up discolouration occurs no matter the caulk . The clean look of a proper set toilet even shadow line looks the cleanest, however in a rental situation or low income housing / apartment building or commercials I always caulk the toilet . In my opinion looks way better without caulk and was designed not to be caulked . Just my opinion

Ay boy... You know I didn't miss that hex bit going down that drain...

Flooring guy did it exactly how he was supposed to. Not his fault the client didn't hire a plumber to re seat the flange on top of the finished floor.

My inly issue is wax over poly. Worked at a uni and all wax rings needed replacing after a year. Some less so thats even during the panfemic shutdown.

That bit has just joined two of my Allen keys in tool heaven.

Customer knows what’s up!!! Never caulk a toilet. Otherwise you won’t know if it leaks before more damage occurs.

For anyone wondering HE RETRIEVED THE LOST BIT!🎉

Did anyone see the drive bit falling into the yellow flange. I’ll tell you, I dropped a yellow drill battery once, and I learned my lesson!

Ask any oldtime plumber or tile mechanic. Or toilet mfr. You are supposed to put a thin layer of sanded grout under the toilet, which guarantees the load is evenly spread on the floor. If you do that, there's also no need to jam in caulk. Grout. Not optional.

Or just use a wax with a bowl ring. If that doesn’t do it just add a regular wax without bowl ring and that will help accommodate the extra height. The drain part was finely done.

Did you put that on top of the old closet flange? Thank you in advance for any answers.

Mmm yum. Peanut Butter Surprise!

Hey buddy I seen you drop that Bit.I won't tell

You're videos are awesome but yeah I agree with the customer I don't like caulking my toilets either bc depending on grade of the floor is set on even if you leave and opening in the back for water to escape so you can tell if there's a wax ring breakdown issue in the future the water may just sit in there and completely destroy the wood flooring causing it all to be replaced.

Shouldn't caulk around toilet because if the flange leak it doesn't show up until it goes through the floor and the downstairs ceiling.

A plumner told me that Calking a toilet messes with some kind of air test I don't remember. In any case. It's a pain in the ass when I need to remove the toilet to snake. Thanks for your videos

Lol the bit the bit! What’s up with the replacement in socks 🧦 situation ??? Great content bro …

you really don't need to caulk the toilet. if its set correctly and the floor is flat it ends up nice and consistently flat and stable. caulking it just hides if someone screwed up.

As a not-plumber, what are the arguments for and against caulking the base of the toilet?

Gotta love those 12v milwaukees. I just droppes my hammer drill 12v off a 35 foot lift, onto concrete. Busted something in the inside. Im a sad.

My favorite is when you’re doing a job and the homeowner just stands and watches you the whole time asking if you’re going to do this or that… sometimes I turn around and hand them the wrenches and say alright, let’s see it!

Hey boy you just dropped your bit🙌

I never caulk toilets so leaks are visible. That is unless a large unsightly gap is unavoidable. Also....did you double wax ring this? I never heard of anyone wax ringing below the extension kit,only siliconing it,but I guess this would work

The reason you don't caulk the toilet is because if you have a leak, it'll reveal itself much faster than if you caulked, giving you more time to minimize the damage.

Aye boyyyyyy we saw that!!!!!

I had 2 watch this again and again like. Did that just happened. Lol.

Why not turn the flange upside down before installing so you can mark out the floor and cut it easily?

Glad we're all lighting him up over that bit. It aint gonna fuck anything up. Its just funny cos you know he was mad abt it.

That bit made this video viral

I don't like caulking the bottom of toilets either. If it ever leaks your more likely to catch it before it leaks thru your ceiling! But it's my opinion

I've never used those flange kits before... husband does flooring & we deal with flanges too low sometimes. But uhh - why wax under the flange kit AND over? I've seen wax end up dried out and causing leaks after a (long) time.

Hey Boy, you forgot the end of video flush telling us what brand it was....

Newbie here. How do you know if it’s not set right? I did mine today. It’s level. Doesn’t leak (no signs on bath floor or kitchen below lol) and it took my … issue with no probs. So what’s a sign it needs resetting?

Do you leave the filter in your vac when you use it to suck up water? Or do you take it out

A moment of silince for that dropped bit... May he rest with all my missing 10mm... Thank you for your service!

Hey boy that’s Whatchu get for havin all dem fancy gadgets and what not on what you call a drill. I’ll show you what a drill look like boy

This guy is the biggest service tech hack on the internet!

Why are you against nor caulking the toilet to the floor? I'm exact opposite. Just wondering.

You can find out when the toilet is leaking sooner then caulking it.

Whats the lifespan of those wax rings on the bottom usually? How often do you just replace the rings age of the toilet? Plus the size of some of you yanks, wouldnt think 2 inch outlet on a shotta would ve big enough haha
