Toilet drain flange and bathroom floor tile
Hi there,
Have two questions on a toilet flange and the bathroom floor tile:
1. I wonder if for an installation of floor tile in the bathroom, is it supposed to have no gap (and sealed if there's any) between the floor tile and the drainage pipe that comes up and connects to the bottom of the toilet.
The reason is I do see a small gap between the surrounding floor tile pieces and the toilet drain flange. Is that acceptable?
If there's a gap, if there is water on the floor tile, would there be a possible water leak thru' that gap into any structure below the toilet?
FYI--I'm using the FluidMaster Wax-Free Toilet Bowl Gasket, so there isn't any wax from a wax ring to seal up the gap I just mentioned.
2. Also, the toilet flange is level with the floor tile instead of sitting right on top of the tile. Would that pose any problem? The toilet does appear to be a bit wobbly after I fastened it to the flange.
Thx... .
