I just installed a toilet flange for a toilet in my hunting cabin. Being my first install, I wanted to get input on my success, or failure? I think I did it correctly:
1. 3" PVC
2. Cut off level with the cement floor
3. 3" Flange insert (has a rubber boot, and the flange goes inside the 3" pipe)
4. I screwed the flange into the concrete using two tap screws (I believe that's what they're called)
5. Under the flange, I used two rubber boots (donut shaped) to fill a 1/4" gap under the flange, between the flange and conrete.
6. The flange is fairly level, but could be improved
Questions:
1. Does the flange need to sit level, left to right, and back to front when a level is placed on top?
2. Are the rubber boots okay? Acting like a shim...
3. I used two screws to mount the flange, should I utilize the other 4 holes on the flange, and secure with an additional 4 screws into the conrete?
