Oatey Toilet Flange Extender How to Install Video

[@johnstutt5927]

The toilet spacer is supposed to be even with the floor then you add the flange which should be above the floor.

The toilet flange is not supposed to be flush with the finished floor, it's supposed to be above it; the outlet pipe of the toilet and the closet flange are a male/female fitting, with the flange going up and around the outlet for the toilet. That's why closet flanges have the bevel on the inside. Minimum gap is left, and the male part of the outlet is INSIDE the female part of the flange, with the famale part acting like dam for any water/pressure. Then the wax from the wax ring is compressed on both sides instead of being open on one side.

Im glad you made this comment. In a perfect world he should have the yellow component 1/4 in above the finished floor.

Is it still holding up with no leaks? I want to use the set rite spacers, but I don’t want to use a wax ring. They’re so messy and finicky in my opinion

[@JMOP2020]

Why don't you want to use a wax ring? They are still in use today because they are a tried and true way to seal sewer gasses and liquid when installed correctly.

As I said, they’re a “one time” better set it right the first time, and they’re messy

I'm not sure it's better than wax, but it is still holding up for these people without complaints.

Was this in a concrete subfloor or wood? And thanks for this video my parents got a house with a bathroom in the separate garage and the previous owner screwed it up so bad luckily this kit will fix one problem

It was a double plywood layer
