Will the self tapping screws work if the subfloor is concrete?

I set my flange on top of the floor and it squeezed the wax out and had a slight leak; so I would double check what he’s recommending.. I’m now having to cut a split the old flange, to replace and set it properly.

The worst how to video, every

Name of kit, where to buy, cost? Great video!

I used this system. It was super easy to install and fair priced. The alternative was going to be replacing the old flange. Saved me a ton of money and time. Now I get to poop at home again!

My turd wouldn't go through the yellow extender.

What if the cast iron part isnt even level?

I’ve done a lot of building maintenance in my life and never have I ever seen a toilet flange sitting 1/2” to 3/4” below the floor. every flange I’ve seen has been level with the floor once a friend asked me to look at a toilet in a bathroom being remodeled And his toilet did not touch the floor at all. I removed the toilet from the flange and found the flange was on top of the floor I told him to remove the flooring under the flange, remove the flange and install a new flange level with the floor his toilet now sits level on the floor and functions properly.

Why wouldn't you install the 4in drain tall, cap it off till trim out and install the flange at the same time you install the toilet, which would be after the finished floor is done..

90% of homes have flanges set too low? I have my doubts.

Why is this preferred over toilet flange spacers?

Wax rings cures all. Last forever. The new gimmicry ones have so many limitations. Because they are just that. Gimmicks not to be taken seriously. Especialy if your reputation is on the line.

My flange is on slab 2 1/4 inches below finish floor. Can I put 2 of these kits together? We just pulled out the last job and they stuck a whole 2nd flange inside the first with wax ring on top….I went bought the Danco no mess kit but still need to elevate. Thanks in advance

Common sense!

The Correct Height of a Toilet Flange is an elusive reality with every toilet I've had to work on.

Good stuff

Best way to set a flange is to cut 1/2 pex about and 1” in length and place them under the flange and screw the flange to the floor. That way the flange is in and the tile guy can’t screw you come finish time.

I guess the other unused spacers just get tossed into the landfill. Let someone else deal with it.

Nice god bless

Just add more wax😂

Greetings all! What should the measurement be between the finished floor and the top of the flange? Or said differently, how high should the flange be above the floor? Thanks for your time!

a real easy solution is 2 uncollared wax rings.

I replaced my toilets a couple years ago and in the one bathroom they have the abs/pvc black flange just like this about 1/4 inch below floor. I did a bunch of research and professional plumbers were saying to double two wax rings. This year The toilet started clogging easy. I removed the toilet and found the kids had flushed a plastic flosser and it was in the outlet of the toilet. It had baby wipes also stuck on it and that is why I was having to plunge it recently. Well I think somehow when I used my heavy duty t-handle bazooka plunger I caused the wax seal to fail. Floor was wet and particle board on top of subfloor was soaked and expanded. So now it needs a new floor, new wood, new flange extender kit. If I had just installed this kit in the first place this damage and new floor would not be necessary most likely.

Looks like this product will greatly reduce the draining capability of the toliet due to the small opening diameter which will make toliet flush slow/clogg. Spacers seem like cool idea but flange is a bad design

That just makes the pipe smaller

well explained, i love the display showing the flange sitting either below or above the floor. In my case when I replaced the tile my flange now sat below the floor. I am going to check out your product line.

That's all well and good for WOOD floors..... but mine is concrete with one of those old cast iron deals in it.. and I don't think it's all level.

Thanks for the info!!

If you flip it over and sand it it's not going to be level once you flip it back over

Congratulations all involved. Very good production value. The talent seemed to have flawless delivery. Well lit too.

We would cut either copper or cpvc spacers. And the GC always knew to tell the flooring guys or tile guys to remove the screws install the flooring under the lip of the flange. The come trim time we drilled our holes and secured the flange.

Wow, that massively reduced the size of the opening. No thanks!

Im having this low closet flange issue with a macerating up-flow toilet. The thing has a basin the poo goes into which has the flange built in it.. so for one i cant drill any screws into the flange because the tank must remaim sealed. However after the subfloor, leveler, backer board, tile i have almost 2 inches i need the flange to be at. Under the basin is a concrete floor.. the only thing i can think to do is to stack spacers in between with silly cones in between each pvc spacer then wax ring on top.. i still have to get some super long bolts that will work to go from that bottom flange all the way through the pooper.. thats like a 4” bolt at least..

I fucking love this guy's way of explaining.

I poured an liquid epoxy floor on top of my old bathroom floor. The old flange is level with the old finish floor, not the new finish floor. I will put an extention on the toilet flange so that there is a good seal between the toilet and the flange. By the way, I would not reccomend epoxy floors. Lots of bubbles in the surface. Also, needed 8 gallons instead of seven tenths of a gallon. The square footage estimator from stone coat could ter tops is overly optimistic. Needs more epoxy than they say to use

It's like a plumber's version of "Three Card Monte"

Finally someone that knows what they’re talking about and can teach

So we went from using heavy gauge brass flanges to Chinese made plastic and thin easily corroded sheet metal. Insanity continues...

What about offset, I can't seem to find a good repair kit for an offset flange

Great way to explain to correct way to set a toilet flange!!!!

Great video.Main products: sealing gasket,gland packing,PTFE/graphite/asbestos products, ceramic fiber products, high temperature heat insulation and fireproof material.

I took the first measurement at 3 o'clock and the second measurement at 9 o'clock. That's all well and good, but I think it's entirely unreasonable to have to wait 6 hours between measurements! This project took all day! 😉😏

Pure garbage. Rough it in and move on...

First glance I thought your display. was a speaker infermocial.

I've read through some of these comments so I would like to weigh in. The set right system is nice but I don't like the reduction of the 3" to less than a 2 1/2" either. It's a problem just like the offset flanges are a problem, especially on commercial toilets and air-tank flush units. So what to do? You can use their spacers and a 3" flange plate. Or you can be a skilled plumber and use an inside pipe cutter and a coupling to bring up the flange on where it needs to be. Some type of waterproofing on the subfloor is a good idea like an adhesive caulk like Phenoseal on second floor bathrooms. Using the rubber type flange seals is a better idea than the wax rings. They make removing the toilet again easier. Fluidmaster is a good one. Don't use wax rings with the plastic horn. The horn eventually gets cocked inside the flange and obstructs the waste being flushed. Caulking a toilet down is ok for appearance and a good finished look, just don't caulk around the back. Leave that open if there ever is a problem with a leak. Always level the toilet. Always check to make sure toilet doesn't wobble. Always proof your work.

This is the second one for the basement bat. kzfaq.infoUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great

Easy cleanup , came as described fast. Great product

Here's my question, I am setting up small house 420sq.ft the floors are already installed and I will have to add toilet and walk in shower (complete bathroom) so I should be able to install toilet flange with out this as long as I cut the pipe size out and not the entire flange? And since sheet rock is installed I have to put center of drain at 12 inches to meet code , with out sheet rock or walls to meet code you go 12.5 inches

for corroded flanges, can I just use the gasket instead of wax? what is the difference?

That product sucks you just decreased your poop pipe hole by a inch in diameter
