@@DIYwithMichaelBorders well it's an offset flange, I have no idea what to do. I'm not equipped to chisel out concrete. Any products out there that can adapt to an offset?

@@flashbang217 Thanks for the reply, you may be required to cut out flange like us. Ours is still holding strong and secure.

@@flashbang217he doesn’t know call a plumber that’s why it was 1400

why would you do that? your flange should sit on top of the finished floor not below.

@@squirts1 this was a year ago I don’t even remember anymore but it all worked out in the end

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Is this a brand new install or have you recently removed a toilet that was compatible with the set up?

We are honored to read this, and many more helpful videos to come! 😎👍

You are welcome, sounds like you have a project ahead of you. Keep us posted on your fun. 😎👍

We appreciate you sharing this, that sounds like a task worth making a DIY project out of. Have you already completed project or are you just beginning? Let us know if you have any questions and we are looking forward to hearing back from you. 👍🧰

Project completed, but considering some tweaks, like aligning the toilet better. Ended 2023 with a face full of tile dust. 🎉 Wrestling with my new Toto toilet made for an unexpected adventure. Dealing with a stubborn flange glued to the sewer pipe led to using a heat gun, saw, and creating a tile dust tornado - who knew plumbing could be so entertaining? 😅 My home projects always seem to involve multiple trips to Home Depot. Don't know what I would do without RU-vid to guide me. I used a leveler out of curiosity and noticed the tile floor wasn't perfectly level. Managed to remove the old flange with a heat gun, used a grinder to trim tiles, and a Dremel to cut away the inner sewer pipe. Though I didn't get the inner pipe perfectly flush with the surrounding tile, it seemed to pass the test. No wobbly toilet, securely fastened to the floor. Opted for 'Fluidmaster Better Than Wax' instead of a messy wax gasket; time will tell how it holds up. Previously used Danco Perfect Seal Toilet Wax Ring for another toilet replacement upstairs, where the flange was below the tile. It included a wax ring and was more forgiving than standard wax rings. One more toilet to replace in my kids' bathroom upstairs.

@@AGeekDad That’s awesome, great job and great way to end the 2023 holiday season. 😁 We are right there with you…we have had our fair share of projects that involve multiple trips to the hardware stores in town…🤣 Again, awesome job and we enjoyed reading this just now. Happy New Year, and reach out to us any time. 🧰👍

carpet... in a bathroom? gross. Cast iron drain? it's probably leaded in. just have to grind it away. Easier to just use a retrofit fix a flange device.

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. We appreciate you reaching out to us. This is a great way to fix a high flange & this newly designed adjustable flange is awesome. Keep us posted on your project, hope all is well. 😎👍🔧🔩

At the end of the video he mentions that if you ever need to remove the flange, for example, to change the tile, you can remove screws, pull it right up, do your thing, then align put it in place and screw, and your done.

Thanks for watching & that’s a great idea, those are nice. I don’t have one handy. 😎👍🔧🔩

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I understand..i do plumbing everyday lol..think you are giving good info for someone that needs to replace items in there home.you do a nice job

@@stangnet83 We appreciate that, plumbing very very important. 😎👍

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders yeah brother.watched and utilized your videos a bunch.thanks

@@stangnet83 Thank you. 😎👍

Thanks for watching, great question. You will still want to properly install a wax ring. Please keep us posted on your DIY project. 😎👍

You are very welcome, please keep us posted on your project. Thanks for watching. 😎👍

Thanks for watching & great idea. Any & all helpful info is greatly appreciated!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders hey great job on the video though. Just trying to make it easier. The dremel tool worked soo great job in all

@@damienbell3155 Thanks for that, us here at the DIY Raptor Club love the DIY community & your added advice is awesome!!! 😁👍

Good morning & thank you for sharing this. Us DIYers need to stick together!!! Thanks for watching. 😎👍

Good morning ☕️ it will be same steps. Double check that your flange is not a threaded screw-on or screw-off design. 👍🧰

We appreciate you watching & sharing this. Let us know if you have any questions. 😎👍

This is one of the many standard replacement flanges available at big box home stores or any other stores specializing in plumbing. It is made by Oatey. "4 in. PVC Twist-N-Set Open Toilet Flange". At our orange store, it is $26.36. Not cheap, but it is such a time saver.

No. flanges should sit on top of finished floors.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, we know the feeling. Hopefully this video helps. Please keep us posted. 👍

Thanks for watching, which one did you end up going with?

Thanks for watching, any & all helpful info is greatly appreciated. 😎👍

Good morning ☕️ Is flange flush with floor? Is floor level? It’s very unlikely that the toilet is out of specs…shape-wise. Another cause can be that the toilet is ever-so-slightly offset when place into position on top of flange. Keep us posted.

Thanks for watching, let us know if you have any questions. 😎👍

Good morning ☕️ it definitely may be. Thanks for watching. 😁👍

😁👍 Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, how did the project go? Let us know if you have any questions. 😎👍

Thanks for watching, $2,000…..😲….that’s HIGH!!! Well we are always here to help answer questions. Let us know if we can help.

Thanks for watching, it’s best to have both standard and metric. 😁👍🧰

Good morning ☕️ how did your project go? Please let us know if you have any questions. 🧰

Thanks for watching, these are pretty incredible adapters. It will ultimately be personal preference on what you do. We have been very pleased with this install. 😁👍

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I want it done correctly so I don't have to worry about it later.

@@whateverta Honestly, that’s the best approach. Ensuring that your plumbing is correctly done will alleviate loads of heartache as well as a heavy hit on the bank account in the future.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders which approach? The one in your video My dad's Or just go with whatever????

@@whateverta The one in video. 😎👍

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. That will depend on who you ask. You will get mixed reviews as some will say metal only creates rust and corrosion while others will say metal is the way to go. Us... we do not use metal. Let us know if you have any questions, hope all is well with you and your family Brittney. 😎👍

Good morning, thanks for watching & sharing this. To clear up any confusion, the underside base of unit/insert is flush, please let us know if you have any questions. We DIYers need to stick together! Hope all is well. 👍

Thanks for watching. 😁👍

We didn’t notice because we don’t care, as long as the job gets done. Oh and we don’t have to pay $1k to a plumber like you for an easy fix. B-job on that.

Thank you, we appreciate you sharing this. Hope all is well. 😎👍
