How to install a toilet flange! Plus finishing up the bathroom flooring!  

Not only are you a skilled tradesman, but you are also A GREAT TEACHER. Those 2 rarely come together. Instant subscriber

Thanks for taking the time to record your work. The tips you provided for drilling, and aligning the flange are priceless!

I am a plumber by trade, and you are right about setting the closet flange ABOVE the tile! Lots of people don't know. Good job 👍

I am not a Country boy, being from California, but I know good work when I see it. Thank you Kelley for my future installation.

Best video I have found for not only installation but explanation.

Your learned talents never ceases to amaze me. The floor looks super against the shower tile, You always pass on great information to your followers. Your attention to detail i amazing. Thanks Andrew for the great video.

You need to be so proud. What an accomplishment. Everything you did looks beautiful. Love the flooring.

that is the BEST instructional video I have seen for installing the toilet flange. I've had questions, but you answered and explained everyone of them on your video. THANK YOU!!! you're goooood at what you do 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

I've been plumbing for 20 years now. I've found that having the flange FLUSH with the finish floor is best, if not upto a 1/4" BELOW finish floor. Too many times I've found wax rings completely squished out and not providing any real seal to the flange, just porcelain to plastic, or they simply rock because the toilet is being pushed up by the flange and the base of the toilet isn't allowed to sit on the floor. I see there's at least one plumber in the comments saying to set the flange on the finish floor but I have to 100% disagree. You can always stack a flange higher, use a MaxWax ring, etc., but you can never make a flange lower.... In your case, I would have set the flange to the concrete tightly, then anchor with tapcons (the glue will NOT suffice to hold you toilet down). Your Johny bolts are pulling up on the flange as you tighten your toilet down, so you want to be pulling against the concrete, NOT the glue/plastic. THEN take you floor AROUND your flange with a 1/4" gap. Having your flange above your floor, that you aren't supposed to pinch/weigh down seems counter productive to me. ...sorry I didnt start watching your channel earlier, since this was a year ago or so you get my best 20/20 hindsight. Any way, thanks for the vids, I enjoy this series a lot!

I am just in "Awe" with your knowledge to know so much...you do such awesome work...another great video..

Thank you for throughly explaining this process. I’m just about to that stage of my flooring process. Great Job 👏

Great video! You covered some very important topics and did so in a manner of simple but precise explanation.Thanks!

Hi, Andrew! You are amazing! Your skill set keeps me in awe. Your work is always precise and organized. The man can build a house. The man can hunt. The man can fish. The man can garden. I would say Miss Tiffany scored really big when she married you. You scored really big when you married her. She has her own distinct skill set as well. Well, I might also add that Bullet has a good life with the two of you.

Brother you have no idea how much you’ve help me with just this video thank you very much. Keep up the great work you do. NJ

Thank you Man! That stainless rotating flange rim is spectacular. Ive been looking for the strongest material and best connection. The fact that I don't have to guess at where to align the sliding/twisting bolt holes is a super bonus.

Wow, I learned so many cool techniques from you! Even the after-scenes had some great tips!

Super clear demonstration of how to do this. Many Thanks!!!

Thank you. Can never know enough when it comes to toilets.

Andrew, I can't say enough good things about your ability to install this flooring. It's all gorgeous.

In the state lots of things happen in strange public community places in the city town county but when they realize I've been with this lady all my youth and growth I think I'm staying

Thank you for this very important video. I am renovating three restrooms now, and I was not sure whehter the flange goes before or after the flooring. Thanks for clarifying and demonstrating this. Also I will be sure to get the flange with the stainless ring. Thanks again. 💯🙏😊

Your knowledge is amazing..your house is really coming together.

i don’t know if i’ll ever have a chance to install a toilet again, but i don’t care. watching you do your thing reminded me about planning the work and working the plan. great job.

Looking GREAT, love the extra care you take......

Orale Andrew..... Good tips....that's exactly the plumbing Items I use in my Bathroom... I learn a lot....thanks for share your Skills with us God bless you...

Looking good, very well done. Little late now. But a good tip for grinding on concrete, or any dusty task really, set the shop vac hose near your grinding. It’s a big help with reducing the dust.

Looking great 👍. Thanks for the tips. I always seem to learn something.

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for, and well explained. Thank you!

Really well explain thanks for the great info! I will look into those metal toilet fixers for sure!

This is a great video. Thank you for making a very thorough and easy to understand video.

The house is looking awesome. Keep up the great work.

Thank you for sharing, what I already kinda knew what to do and just wanted to make sure, you took all my concerns away. Thanks again. Very clear and concise. You da man.

New install very nice on them toilet flanges. Clean. Had to replace a rocky toilet flange only to find out the drain pipe was just a little (like half) off the mark too close to the tub so they had to put in a 45 degree adapter to get the flange to center up properly (tub to opposing wall). So now ya 'half' to lean on the dump LoL Great work always a pleasure seeing ya video popup in the feed!!

You're gonna have a vice mounted on that granite "workbench" before this is all over! Looking great!

It's looking so awesome Andrew! I always learn a new trick or two by watching you. Another great video.

Thank you for your detailed explanation!

I always learn something watching your videos!

15:10 amazed me! I've done many floors but missed a few of those tricks.

Very good work my friend,the texture on the walls looks awesome

Exactly the content I needed. Explained perfectly, answering all my questions on queue.

It looks like you were able to keep most of the dust out the pipe while cutting the flooring, but a good tip is to stuff a rag in the pipe before laying the floor to catch and debris.

You are doing an awesome job installing the flooring. I would be doing it in my sleep after the first day! It’s nice to see a man that knows how to use a sweeper( shop vac) better not let Tiffany see you doing this!

Flooring looks great your house is coming together nice

That was great! Thank you; I’m doing the same on Monday.

Very nice install, I always wondered how the floor flange was installed from the rough plumb in. Thanks.

Thank you so much for excellent video! Very very clear!

This vid was incredibly helpful, thank you!

Andrew another great video, Thank You!

Dude, you’re awesome! It’s simple enough for ME to understand.

Great video ... super helpful. I appreciate you buddy!

Thank you for being very detailed👍👍👍👍👍

Flooring has went pretty quickly. Looking good Andrew

Hi Andrew- Just came across your channel, watched how meticulous you were with setting those toilet flanges, and subscribed. That wall texture looks great also. Will start viewing some of your previous videos.

Great job, buddy! Thanks for the info!

Well when 5 Star work is seen. I must say congrats. And you are great on flooring and plumbing. So top hat to you sir....

Great video! I saved this video for future reference! Ty!

Great video Andrew, Thanks 🇨🇦

Hey Andrew, you didn't leave an expansion gap around the flange and screws. These LVP floors really do move around and it will cause you problems if you don't go back and correct that. You can probably just cut a small ring of material out from around each flange that the toilet will cover so you don't have to do any major rework. Otherwise, everything is looking really nice. It's fun watching this all come together.

Great video buddy! Thanks for the tips 👍

A+ good video you speak really well. Great information and presentation thank you.

Great video! Thanks for the help.

Video answered my question, thanks. You do do good work... awesome.

The house is looking good!

Very good explanation. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much you job looks great and clean 👍🏻

Excellent job👍👍👍

Great job very informative!

Excellent ! Thank you.

Learned a lot here. Thanks!

thus, flange is better to be level with finished floor, then a Fernco FTS-3 toilet seal can be used instead of messy wax or rubber gaskets (has a depth of 3" that can be inserted into toilet flange IF, inside pipe is 3" not less), check your plumbing supplier for this excellent toilet flange gasket

That first “primer” you used looked like Oatey standard strength clear glue. The primer is - as far as I have seen - always in a purple accented container. Thanks for the video, very helpful!

beautiful work my man! Congrats

great work!

Very well done 👍

code or state requirements, primer is a must for low temperature applications when underground piping is installed in cold or even shoulder seasons and glue is more of a gem then liquid, when pipe is dirty and need cleaned but for warm temperatures inside finished house (insulated) it won't matter it doesn't help. As about color of the primer, purple is no doubt a bonus for drainage installations where inspector is not your best friend..put it this way

Great video. Thank you.

Awesome Video . Well done, all explained in great detail, nothing left out. And most important of all NO MUSIC ! which is how it should be . Anyone making a DiY video should watch yours first. Congratulations and Thank You

Still, after such an accomplishment in the house, I would like to see tiffany's reaction seeing it for the first time.

The flange info was great, especially lining up the bolt spacing, most peps would miss that. To bad we didn't see the full installation of the toilet, overall was a great video, thank you for posting, 👍😎👍

My thing from growing is the back and inside of the toilet and the top every cell had a flusher but this house is the second toilet I found with a tight rope and ring to the wall on the side back of the wall and toilet

I like your show from Massachusetts I’m a country boy too

Excellent video !!! Thx.

I like the way he says, “Pipe”.

Never knew these metal capped flanges existed. Great tip for a better installation and finish.Thanks

The supply stub outs are two close.remember to install escutcheons also

Thank you for making this

Well done!

Great job nice & clean flange install! However, I believe as per manufacturer LVF you're not supposed to screw the toilet flange into LVF! You need a 1/4 gap around the perimeter & flange for expansion & contraction. It's a floating floor system which I'm sure you know. I watched tons of videos on how to install & read Home Depot Lifeproof instructions. Because I'm going to install Lifeproof in our bathroom.

Nice Job!

Great info, thanks!

Great job! Thank-you

Thanks for the video.

Your video is awesome and these so called pro plumbers think they got it right, but you are the only 1 that's on point with your flange install!!! All I have ever seen was flanges even with the finished floor sigh! Props to you bro.

Awesome tips

good work and thank you!

You do good job 👍

Nice flooring pal!

Multi tools are amazing

Fabulous job. The only thing I would add is I'm not a fan of primer on toilet flanges. Light glue and no primer makes it so if you ever have to remove the flange for whatever reason you probably can (carefully) without destroying it or what's around it. The toilet weight keeps it there. Also always after drilling first hole install a screw to make sure you didn't over drill it.
