I'm posting this so I only have to do this once.
I have another thread running about my subfloor replacement. I've done all the subfloor and laid the new vinyl. The top of the 3" waste pipe is 3/4" below the finished floor level.
I have a stainless steel 4x3 Sioux Chief closet flange that will go around the outside of the waste pipe. The flange downpipe will extend 2-3/8" below the finished floor and this seems to be a bit longer than some other flanges I've seen.
This means the maximum potential overlap of the flange pipe with the waste pipe is 1-5/8"
Naturally, the dry fit is snug and things will slide much easier with everything primed and basted in cement.
My question is: Just how far will the closet flange go when I goop things up and push it down over the waste pipe? Should I expect the flange to easily end up flush with the floor? Do I need to trim a bit off the bottom of the flange downpipe? I simply don't want to press this on and end up with a gap between the flange and the floor.
Thanks up front for the input!
