Outstanding tutorial! Do it right the 1st time and never go back. My Dad's wise advice over 60 years ago. The homeowner before me simply put a wax ring down on a concrete/tile floor and then siliconed the toilet to the tile on a $600k house!!!! How frustrating on at least three levels!
As a 36 year residential repair plumber, it's obvious that most of the comments made are folks that have absolutely no clue about plumbing. Yes, prime, glue 100% of the time, replace flange instead of using lags or repair flanges, and GLOVES. Good job on the video!
How long did it take to drill those six holes. I just did a danco flange and could only drill 2 holes in a hour. I could not get through the concrete on the other 2 holes no matter what I did. It became a total mess.
The secret is to only show the footage of when everything goes perfect. Some of the people uploading videos like these do things wrong, then fix them off camera and are either too stupid, too lazy or too embarrassed to film themselves fixing it, so they show you the wrong way, but fix it and you will never get what they are doing to work unless you noticed they fixed it. When watching videos by DIYers, you have to know enough to be able to tell if the guy making the video knows what he is talking about or is a complete idiot. More often than not, they are complete idiots.
With Camera close up made it very easy to understand all the steps. I also liked how you removed the old flange, and put spacer. This is an excellent video. I like it when people like you make effort to explain every detail. I gave this video a rating of 100 out of 10. Yes exceptional, attention to detail, right camera angle.
Any cordless drill should be fine. The difference is the drill bit. You need a masonry drill bit. Home Depot will sell come concrete screws and the matching drill bit with it.
Since this video is 3 yrs old, I'm curious to know how this flange replacement has held up since you sat the flange on top of that grout. I thought the flange might leak sitting on the grout like that. I appreciate you taking time to make the video.
Always wonder why installers glue the flange to the pipe. Water doesn't flow uphill, and the fit is already nice and tight. If you ever need to replace the flange you made a bigger job of getting it free.
Obviously you haven’t had to plunge a backed up toilet that had either a leaking wax ring or cracked flange. You glue it because it needs to be sealed to prevent any leaks at any point in the future. Not just because someone says so.
IIRC it was 1/4” tap cons. 2 1/2” long. Bit size was 3/16”. When you buy the tap cons the package will say what size drill bit. Might even include the bit
@Steve Lopez true i usually dont wear gloves unless im tighting/loosing something next to concrete and have already nicked myself, but this is someones washroom and under there toilet at that
what is that brown colored compound you used on the cement over the cement ... on which the flange sits? Can i use that to cover up rotted wood? if not what would you suggest? Its hard to get in there and replace the wood so i am thinking of using a cement compoud that will allow me to drill holes and fix the flange on... Thoughts?
My old flange is not level. Off by mm . Would this work if I used more cement on the one side that is lower to make the flange sit even and not tilted.
I don’t think so. If the pipe in the floor is not level you won’t be able to glue on a flange without it not being level too. If it’s only off by a mm I’d use a neoprene ring instead of a wax ring.
@@bobwills4420" brass" tank bolts that rot in 2 years . I'll pull a toilet with "Stainless steel " ring years later find rust all over it . Don't know if it's quality control or metals aren't what they say they are .
Then that wasn't stainless steel...and look at the bolts. If they have a green tinted that ain't brass...look for it to have a yellow tint. That's brass. Some are just brass coated...
My plastic flange is a little warped, but not broken. I used a steel ring to reinforce it, but it was never screwed down. The flange rests on a tiled surface. How do I drill tile to screw the flange to the floor? Concrete under tile. I am concerned about breaking the tile by drilling and/or driving the screws.
I,like the plumbing work you jut done, very clean flash to the floor well secured will stay in good 11conddition for long time to come. you are the man!!
Yes it is designed so it can go on top. I didn’t like having a join with the spacer on top to the flange. So I modified it and used it as a spacer to go under. Toilet now sits on the flange with the flange resting on floor height.
It’s a solid surface for the flange to sit on as I glued it in. If I only filled with the sanded grout I could have inadvertently pushed the real flange too deep
It's important to note that one should put some toilet paper down and just inside the waste opening to block it. Not just for blocking the sewer gases but also to prevent the pieces being cut off the old flange from falling into the eternal abyss, never to be recovered!
Great point. I actually had a grocery bag stuffed with several other grocery bags stuffed down into the pipe. As you mention it’s dual purpose. To keep gases from coming up. And to not loose pieces down the pipe as you cut away the old flange.
I got in a hurry once and forgot to pull the grocery store handle sack that had a couple of sheets of newspaper in it I remembered after about the third flush there was another toilet in the next stall and the one in the men's room the line opened up to six inch in the concrete floor i flushed all those toilets many times and urinals and had the vanity faucets wide open the bag made it out of the drain also the dish machine was in the other side of the wall I rant that as well as the pots and pans sink faucets it all happened in a restaurant before it opened for the day I was sweating it for sure
If the problem with the toilet is the flange is broken and the toilet moves but doesn't leak. Can I Tapcon the toilet to the floor rather than replace the flange?
Good question. I never really thought about it. If it were threaded, it may be difficult to remove still as in most cases you can’t get a hold on what’s below the floor. Could be finished basement or crawl space.
The spacer is the old flange it goes over existing flange if main drain got broke during trying to break old flange loose you would have to bust up your tile and your concrete floor$$$ your either living right or a very lucky man not breaking your main drain line. If it works it works
I didn’t use it because I didn’t have any. And the pipe is in cement. It’s not moving. And the flange is also screwed down. It’s not moving. Also there are some studies that show no significant added strength when primer is used. Check the conclusion on this study www.plumbingsupply.com/the-great-pvc-primer-debate.html
i do not know what glue you used but it took forever to set up, it looked like CPVC glue and not the clear or gray PVC cement and no primer, if you used the clear cxement with primer on 4" PVC pipe would not be moving in a couple of minutes for sure
You should have used a heat gun , after making your first cut !!! The pipe glue will soften after you heat the flange and you can peel the old flange out .
Mine can't be glued- it's CAST IRON- and I used a screw in flange with rubber around it-- and it will NOT go flat- flush to the floor.. GUess I need to cut it out.. I can't drill into concrete.. NOT able to.. Barely was able to do the tank.. etc.. when I installed a bidet later.
Good job, no gloves would have been classic if he would have slipped in some shots of sandwich 🥪 gradually being eaten away laying in various positions on the floor as the work progressed🎉🎉❤❤😂
Man that one don't look healthy😂 I had to change 13 of these things in a hotel one time. Oh boy you can only imagine what it looked like under there. Yikes.
I actually like the idea of having the finished floor NOT underneath the flange so later if you want to remove it it's a piece of cake. Also some floors are FLOATING as well. The spacer idea is great.
Just watched your vid. Quite good info. Although you must have already tested positive for hep C. No plumber would work on a toilet flange with out latex gloves. PPE!
I have a 3 inch abs and that flange looks too big. They sell one that fits inside but it wont sit flush because the 3 inch abs is flush with floor and the flange has extra thickness of about 1/8 inch right there and when i test fit toilet it is 1/8 from sitting flush to floor.
The flange is supposed to sit on the finished surface. This rarely happens because plumbers do the rough in plumbing before the floors are finished/tiled. Because of this, they make regular and thicker wax rings. Though lately I’ve used synthetic neoprene rings with great success.
The flange should sit on the finished floor. Rarely happens because the finished floor is never installed when plumbers do the rough in. Hence thicker wax rings.
You could have just drilled some lag bolts and set the stool without all the trouble they even have closet flange that will attach the top of that one but I guess if you have the time and nothing else to do
that is why plubers get over $100 per hour, gfloves really only work just so good, wait till you work on stuff that is up to your elbow like a lift station i just did for the company i work for, i had to use a shovel to scoop off the crap on top before reaching in and i get paid less than $20 per hour, it is not a desk job or for wimps hahahaha

It’s sanded grout. I don’t think it would make a good filler. Dries like cement and would crack on a wood floor I bet.
Which glue you used?
Universal type good for PVC
What's the name of the grout you used?....
It’s just sanded grout. Lowes or Home Depot will have it in many colors. It was left over from a tile repair.
@@69-MinuteFix Can you give me a link for the sanded grout you used?....

Beautiful! This is exactly the help I needed.
Metal rings corrode sooooo fast that's why I don't use them but I always wished they made a spacer for underneath the new flange . Great Idea

Take your time when drilling through your tiles, a few drops of water helps too.

LOL...
The new flange will not fit down into the old one. It has to come out. So the old flange cannot be the spacer.
No need to prime the PVC connections before gluing?
People will say it’s because it’s a dwv and there’s no pressure, but I always think sand prime and then glue
I didn’t use it because I didn’t have any.
And the pipe is in cement. It’s not moving.
And the flange is also screwed down. It’s not moving.
Also there are some studies that show no significant added strength when primer is used.
Check the conclusion on this study www.plumbingsupply.com/the-great-pvc-primer-debate.html
They make repair rings that go right on the broken flange,if you don't want to replace the the old one.

You could use a die grinder or dremel type tool to cut the 3” pipe down a little bit so your flange will sit lower.
Good video! Thank you…
I was told that the flange could not go above the floor because the the wax could not go down. Your does not seem to have problem.
The flange is supposed to sit on the finished surface. This rarely happens because plumbers do the rough in plumbing before the floors are finished/tiled.
Because of this, they make regular and thicker wax rings.
Though lately I’ve used synthetic neoprene rings with great success.
I know a plumber who would double the wax rings when the flange height was flush with floor 😂 never leaked tho lol
All that you really needed was a spanner flange to repair it. Other than that,nice job.
All purpose glue , not recommended . Thank you for vid 👍
Nice job
Thank you, sir.
You did not secure inside the pipe .what if your tools fall down the pipe
I had rags in a plastic bag stuffed in it.
Previous owner of my house did not remove the old flange. He/she put the new over the old the tould it 3/4 of an inch off the floor.
so the bottom surface of flange flush with finished floor? top surface of flange above finished floor?
The flange should sit on the finished floor.
Rarely happens because the finished floor is never installed when plumbers do the rough in. Hence thicker wax rings.
You could have just drilled some lag bolts and set the stool without all the trouble they even have closet flange that will attach the top of that one but I guess if you have the time and nothing else to do

Closet flang is what I use and I am a carpenter it works great
You could of had that out in a few minutes if you used a ram bit
Next time for sure! I never knew what a ram bit was until I googled it just now.
Sometimes the pipe can break but not usually whe glued inside 4inch

Why don’t people wear gloves when using power tools, cutting and chiseling PVC, AND ESPECIALLY working on a sewer
What are you scared of...???
@@northface484 infection is the first thing I can think of
I think I would redo that floor first . . .
Good video, but you animal! no primer? Heathen! Lol. But really. Why not use primer on the pvc?
I didn’t have any.
But there’s a can in my plumbing bag of tricks now. :)
@@69-MinuteFix I was just busting your kahonays. Lol
@@doncox2146 lol I know. I can take it thought. Everyone has been busting them for primer and no gloves… makes for good entertainment! The number of views has blown me away.
I didn’t use it because I didn’t have any.
And the pipe is in cement. It’s not moving.
And the flange is also screwed down. It’s not moving.
Also there are some studies that show no significant added strength when primer is used.
Check the conclusion on this study www.plumbingsupply.com/the-great-pvc-primer-debate.html
Did not see him apply primer
Keen eye. It is recommended. I didn’t have any. I’ve since looked up strength tests for primed and unprimed joints and there was no big difference found. Still I would use it if I had it.
That's why you shouldn't use that cheap plastic vinyl in your bathroom floor
This floor is actually ceramic tile. Looks like wood.
