I was picking up a new flange and some ABS at Home Depot earlier today (remodeling a bathroom) and one of the guys who works there (retired plumber who actually knows what he's talking about) asked me what I was doing, then mentioned something about the new code specifying flanges should be flush with the finished floor.
This goes against what I've been told by at least 10 people, so I said I was pretty sure it should be ON the finished floor. He took me to his desk and showed me the latest revision to the code, complete with an illustration, showing that the flange shoould be attached to the subfloor, with the finished floor (tile in my case) cut up to the flange.
How new is this?
