I jumped over here from john bridge, i busted out my old ci closet flange because i needed to raise the height up because i am throwin a new tile floor in, i am stubborn and want to lead the new one in myself. I picked up a new ci 4x3" flange and a ladle some lead and some oakum. im going to gauge the floor with drypack to level it all nice nice then tile it and set the flange on top of my tile. I threw a spacer on the 4" pipe to give me something nice to tile to.
Anyways...... the guy at the plumbing shop said do u want the packing tool for the oakum and i said no cant i use a small screw driver or something? anyways can someone throw me directions on how to do this? what does it mean to caulk the joint after the lead is cool? what is the packing tool?
i could call my old friend who was a plumber but he has a new job workin 100 hours a week. also i tear up so many old wetbeds in old homes and when i see the flange its usually ci and broken in 20 spots and then they have to have a plumber come in and basically do what i am doing so it would be nice to know how to do this for my own knowledge.
thanks Derrick
