Thanks for your question, in construction we never did use concrete screws. We never failed for it either. You can if you want, but its not needed, atleast not where l am.
Thanks for you question, I actually never finished the job, problems getting an electrician and a condensation problem lead the homeowner to hire a contractor to finish. I was off the job long before drywall was put up.
Thanks for you question, unless everything is ripped out, you cant fix it. The wax seal will compress to the shape of the flange and bowl. As long as the bowl is set level, it shouldnt leak.
@@joegabriel6001 If the flange is flush with the floor, youre fine. We would like to be slightly higher than the floor but its better than being lower. If its flush, you dont need to double wax seal it. Remember when you put the bowl down you want to feel the wax compress. Also make sure the wax is at room temp other wise it will be stiff and hard to compress. Please let me know if you need anymore help.
Thanks for your question, if its been roughed in at 8", the flange needs to be moved. You can get a 10" rough tiolet but that wont help you. To be 4" off is a massive amount. Is it a basment or on slab(concrete rough in)?
Thanks for your question,l would say an oscillating tool is good for thin, limited space type cuts. For this job, it would be too slow. Also when it comes to ABS pipe, it snaps pretty easy when 3/4 of it has been cut. What l have demostrated in the video, is the quickest, simplest way to install a basement flange. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your question, l never finished this job. The last video in the playlist was the last part of the job l did. Do you want to see toilet install video(s)?
Thanks for your question, l tried to straighten it but it was too far off. This was a paid job so l couldnt do what l wanted to address the issue. I would of taken up the difference in the wax seal but l actually never finished this job, that is why there are no video's of flooring,drywall, etc.

Any need to anchor it to the floor with concrete screws?

Thanks! I have the same situation. Now i have more confidence. Do you have the toilet install as well?

So if the flange is uneven/crooked won’t the toilet leak? How will you fix this
Thanks

I have the issue at my house. What about a double wax ring or using a sponge ring?
Should I raise the flange up above the floor? Cause right now it sits flush with my tiled floor? Thanks

good video isn't an oscillating tool way better to cut the pipes?
