What in the world? I see the logic, ive done extra to make things work but... NM - i like it, well done! I use Phenoseal with rubber toilet gaskets to be sure I dont have to hug it again. But ty for video - im going to use this tomorrow :)
Looks like the toilet bolts won't be removable because the wide opening in the spacer is on the opposite side to the one on the original flange, putting narrow channel in both directions. Or could you pull a bolt out of the original flange and then work it around to get it out of the spacer, in spite of all that wax?
@@yacsaw You could get it out the way you said & it would be a bit of a job to work it through the wax or worst case just undo top flange and pry apart.
@@tomasprieto9746 No, I would never use plumbers putty on a toilet drain as it would fail and leak. Wax lasts way longer and is meant for toilet flange sealing.
How is this easier than a simple silicone bead, which won't stress the top ring and bulge it like the overkill wax seal? BTW, the correct height for flanges is the thickness of the flange (1/4-3/8") above the finished floor, NOT even with the it. Keep in mind when a flange is installed in new construction it is on top of the finish floor.
A toilet flange should sit on top of the finished floor, including tile. Drill out the old flange it doesn’t impact the pipe. Then install a new flange on top of floor. It is the only way to ensure good results. The wax seal is not suppose to act as a funnel for the horn of the toilet to sit in.
I get that a flange will work when fastened to the finished floor but l have roughed in 100’s of toilets & the flange is screwed directly to the subfloor then inspected by a qualified inspector and passed. Flange heights vary depending on flooring thickness & that’s why there are flange extenders & different wax thicknesses.
Man... gloves... always gloves... it's like seeing these guys at the campground packing up to leave... grabbing their sewer line bare hands .. then playing on their phone... pickin their noses... and packing up with no gloves.. no hand washing... not even a splash of hand sanitizer lol.
awesome instructional video
Thanks! Glad it helped
Might be good to crank down that spacer ring evenly so you don't bend it as much

@@warb3631 I’ve used this method countless times, never had a call back! thanks for watching

Should have flipped the top spacer ,yes. Noticed that right off the
Can yo use Plumbers putty instead of the wax?

What about a concrete subfloor?
@@claytonaupperle6056 You would need a hammer drill, concrete bit & whichever concrete fasteners you choose to use. More work, same process.

Gloves for women
