The flange below my American Standard PA toilet (Cadet, maybe?) apparently sits a little too proud of the floor. The toilet rocks a little, but there are no signs of leakage, either of water or sewer gas. I had this problem in the past when the bathroom was covered in linoleum, but hoped that new ceramic tile would raise the floor enough to compensate. It was fine for a while, but as the wax ring flattens out, the toilet rocks, and I think I've tightened things up as much as I dare.
Aside from ripping out the old flange, etc., and starting over, are there any other solutions? Right now I'm thinking of cutting a cementboard "gasket", but that strikes me as klutzy.
I wouldn't mind replacing the toilet if need be -- the PA makes quite a racket, although it is damned effective at clearing even a Jeff Foxworthy - style load -- so if any one knows of a toilet that can handle a higher flange, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
