I read this thread about installing a Toto Drake on a thick ABS flange...
I'm worried now, as I have a thick ABS flange set on top of a finished porcelain tile floor. My flange is 7/16th (11mm) thick.
Am I also going to have trouble with fitting the horn of a Drake over this flange?
Is this something that happens with toilets? I mean I have a perfectly fine flange that I bought from a good plumbing supply just a few weeks ago, installed, according to the best practices I can find, screwed down to the top of the finished floor.
I'll be bummed if this winds up limiting the choices of toilet I have or causes some install nightmare.
Gnarfledonk, if that is your name , I don't suppose you have any pictures of the offending part of the base? Any thoughts of whether it was a manufacturing defect? Would a touch with a diamond wheel have cleaned it up to fit properly?
I just picked up a round Drake CST743 1.6 liter toilet based on the great reviews I found here.
Just in front of the drain outlet there is an area that is slightly too low to fit above the ABS flange. This left the toilet resting on the flange at this point
So I had to shim the weight-bearing ridges up that high to get a good solid mounting.
