How to Install a New Toilet Flange?

Installing a new toilet flange is a fairly simple process that should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes. A properly installed toilet flange will ensure years of dependable use. If the old flange needs to be removed, this will increase the installation time. These instructions assume you are starting with a waste pipe that does not have a toilet flanged installed. If the old toilet flange is still installed on the waste pipe, begin by removing it, then following these procedures.The following items are needed to complete this procedure:New toilet flangeAdjustable wrenchScrewdriver (Phillips or straight head)Hacksaw (if modification to waste pipe is needed)Purple primer and solvent cement (if PVC flange is installed)New wax seal or waxless toilet sealPlace the new flange on the waste pipe and ensure the pipe height is proper for the flange to be affixed to the subfloor. If modifications need to be made to the waste pipe, use a hacksaw to cut the pipe to the proper height.Ensure the new flange is sitting level to the floor. The flange must sit level and flush to the floor for the toilet to properly seal to the new flange.Install the new flange on the waste pipe with the bolts positioned so they will fit into the toilet mounts. If a PVC flange is used, apply purple primer to the outside of the waste pipe and solvent cement to the inside of the flange, then press the flange firmly on the waste pipe. Be aware, once these item are attach using primer and solvent, they cannot be removed or adjusted. Be sure the flange is positioned and inserted properly on the waste pipe.Secure the new flange to the subfloor by screwing the flange directly into the floor.Apply the new wax seal to the flange or affix a new waxless toilet seal directly to the underside of the toilet.A waxless seal is commonly overlooked by consumers. Ask your retailer about a waxless seal. Waxless seals are cleaner to install and uninstall and can be reused even if the toilet is removed later.Mount the toilet back onto the new flange and secure it using a washer and nut on the flange bolts. Tighten each bolt with an adjustable wrench. Be very careful not to over tighten the bolts. If the bolts are over tightened, the porcelain toilet will crack.Your new toilet flange is installed and ready to use.

What are the types of flanges?

Flanges are essential components in piping systems, used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They come in various types based on design, connection, and application. Udhhyog, a leading flange manufacturer and supplier in India, offers a wide range of flanges for industrial use at the best prices. Weld Neck Flange ✅ Features a long tapered hub for high-strength connections. ✅ Best for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. ✅ Used in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. Slip-On Flange ✅ Slides over the pipe and is welded from inside and outside. ✅ Easy installation and cost-effective. ✅ Used in low-pressure pipelines. Blind Flange ✅ Seals the end of a pipeline to block flow. ✅ Can handle high-pressure conditions. ✅ Ideal for testing, inspection, and maintenance. Threaded Flange ✅ Has internal threads, allowing pipes to be screwed in. ✅ No welding required – perfect for flammable environments. ✅ Used in plumbing and low-pressure applications. Lap Joint Flange ✅ Works with a stub end, allowing easy disassembly. ✅ Used in systems requiring frequent cleaning or maintenance. ✅ Suitable for low-pressure applications. Socket Weld Flange ✅ Has a socket for pipe insertion and a single weld connection. ✅ Provides high-strength and smooth flow. ✅ Used in small-diameter, high-pressure piping. Companion Flange ✅ Designed to connect hoses or flanged fittings. ✅ Used in hydraulic and flexible pipe systems. ✅ Provides secure, leak-free connections. Orifice Flange ✅ Includes holes for pressure measurement. ✅ Used in flow measurement systems in refineries and power plants.

Should a toilet closet flange fit into or over the PVC drain pipe?

They make both kinds. Just make sure it fits snug before you glue it. there are several types a 3x4 fits over 3" and inside 4" but there are ones that will go over 4" and inside 3" I had the same question, especially after installing a 3" flange inside a 3 inch pipe. The trouble with this is that you are 'narrowing down' the drain opening (i.e. restricting the flow) so that clogs are more likely. I know, cause I clogged mine and then my wax ring blew out (while removing the clog), so I had to pull toliet off. I cut out my old flange and replaced it with a 3/4 flange that fit OVER the outside of the 3" pipe. Now when you look down at the flange, you now have a 4" hole, not a narrow 3". The less restrictive opening should help prevent clogs (I hope).
