In this video I help you choose the right PVC floor flanges for your toilet. I focus on two popular floor flanges that are available if you’re using PVC pipe.
The sizes of these flanges are 4″x3″ and would be used with 3″ diameter waste lines.
There are many variations of PVC floor flanges which are available in both 3″ and 4″ diameters.
The one in the video with the blue adjustable flange ring is a no brainer because you can glue the flange onto the pipe and then adjust the ring for the flange bolt location.
The solid PVC flange is quite different in that you must pre-locate where the flange bolts will be located before you glue it into place.
If you miss this step you’ll have to start all over, so be aware and mark the bolt locations before you glue. The adjustable version is available in stainless steel, PVC as well as the painted steel version in the video. They’re also available for ABS pipe as well.
I personally like the flange that you can glue into the drain pipe. You just bring your drain pipe flush with the finished floor, set the flange and you’re finished.
With other versions you have to do some pre planning before you glue because with PVC you get one opportunity to get it right.
There are many other cool PVC floor flange choices available which I’ll cover in detail in a future video but for now I hope you have a better understanding of the two featured in this video.
Fact is, in the New York City area the two most popular waste line materials are extra heavy and no-hub cast iron pipe.
Cast iron toilet bends and lead toilet bends are still the most commonly found in this area.
