At first, I was bewildered by all the different types of closet flanges and ways they could be installed. This graphic from Home Depot really helped me understand them, and it even cites which are code compliant and which not.
My question is, if it isn't code approved, then why are they allowing one to purchase this product, or is code approval only for professionals who need to get the inspector seal of approval? In other words, if a DIY'er were to do it afterwards, would the work be just as dependable?
