Set-Rite Kit Toilet Flange Spacer System

[emmvee]

I have a Toto Promenade on order. Because of a new floor, I need to raise the flange height. I've looked at the Set-Rite kit, and it seems they've put a lot of thought into making it work. My one concern was the adapter they use, which goes down to 2 1/2" I.D. Does this cause any issues with Toto toilets (the Promenade specifically)? Any other feedback on this kit?

Here's a link to their site:

Extender Kit SREX2004R will extend any toilet flange up from 1/4" to 1 5/8". Kit includes the extender, gasket, 6 stainless steel screws(self drilling) and a 1/8, 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4".

2-1/2" id is too small for any toilet. Although this device may work for raising the flange level, it seem to me to be overkill. There are extension rings in various thicknesses that can be added to a flange, sealed with silicone, and screwed into the floor that work very well. Any plumbing shop has them and they are cheap.

Just wanted to chime in on this thread....the fact is most toilets have an opening of less than 2-1/2"...the Toto being the exception since it is 2-1/8 inches in diameter.

I have used this product before and it works as advertised, those piece of crap extension rings, used with silicone, just do not make me feel all warm and fuzzy about their longevity...and potential to leak.

The one thing that sold me on the Set-Rite kit was that is 'code-approved' and has been tested by IAPMO is certified by the UPC.

I am attaching a photo which shows the Set-Rite extender flange held up to a toilet base. I got it off their video.

I've used them recently on 4 installations in my homes with excellent results. A single seal will work even if the flange is 3/8" below floor surface. If flange is even lower than 3/8" below finished floor they claim you can stack 2 of them.

They have video that explains.

Lots of bogus products have a UPC stamp on them, doesn't mean a thing.
