ss puddle flange ensure a watertight and pressure-tight seal where pipes pass through concrete walls of any structure or building. When a pipe is required to pass through a wall or concrete structure it is usually cast at the point of construction.

How do you repair toilet bowl mounting flange?

depending on your type of flange and pipe and the damage of the flange, if you have a PVC flange with just the bolt slots busted then you can screw in new bolts to the floor below the flange and still use the flange but if its broken where the wax seal sits then if your flange is lower then the floor you can use a insert flange that fits inside your old toilet flange with thin walls to keep the pipe size maximum. To replace the entire flange can be a job especially if its in concrete or in a floor joist because most of the time you have no room and if its cast iron pipe it can be even more of headache but in order to replace the flange you need to cut it out to where you can reconnect the pipe and flange by using a fernco or a no hub band. Sometimes it is impossible to replace because the flange can be on all close fittings and you pretty much have to replace most of the plumbing drain pipe to replace it properly which is why you want to try repairing your toilet flange rather then replacing it .


Should you glue your toilet closet flange to your pipe?

No, it is not recommended to glue the toilet closet flange to the pipe. The flange should be secured to the floor using bolts or screws, and the toilet is then secured to the flange using wax rings or sealing gaskets. Gluing the flange to the pipe can make it difficult to remove or replace the toilet in the future.


Can you increase height of toilet flange?

Extend the Wax Ring instead. The Fluidmaster No.35B Wax Extender Kit is specifically designed for problem areas where the floor flange is 1/4" to 1" below the surface as in tile work. The cost is under $6. Some plumbing supply stores sell an extension that bolts to your existing flange. If you need an extension due to new tile work, this will do the trick. If the flange is only one quarter inch or less below floor level, you can just use two wax rings.

How do you move a toilet?

first you chip up the concrete around the flange , if it is wood frame then disasemble the framing to expose the plumbing . next cut the cast pipe a little back from the first 90 or about a ft from the flange . next figure out where you want the new toilet and make a whole for a new flange next you have to run new drain line from where the cast pipe was cut and using PVC. is the easiest way . you can tie into the cast pipe by using a fernco coupling . now either pour new concrete to finish the floore or you might have to do a little rough framing , now you should be ready to install the new toilet . be sure and finish the flooring ( tile wood whatever u might be using ) before you install the new toilet.
