In response to Re: Toilet Flange Questions
: In preparing for ceramic tile installation, I discovered a section of rotted subfloor adjacent to the toilet flange. I have cut out the subfloor and removed the old flange and a section of the ABS drain pipe. In planning for the new flange install, I had the following questions: : 1) Is a metal/ABS flange better than than a solid ABS flange? : 2) Should the flange be installed on top of the finished floor or flush with it? : 3) In terms of water-tightness, does it matter if you buy a flange that fits inside a coupling (male connection) or one that fits over a section of of 4" pipe (female connection)? : 4) Which is the best gasket to buy - wax or these new waxless o-ring kits? : Thank you in advance for your guidance!
