Something for those who are not plumbers: when you choose your closet flange for this type of installation, make sure to get one that has “Flush” in its description. The flange Tom used is a flush flange. The difference between a flush flange and one that is not is, there is a small 45º chamfer on the outside of the hub, just below the flange portion of the non-flush closet flange which will cause the closet flange to sit about 5/16” too high unless you chip-out concrete around the pipe coming up out of the floor and cut the pipe down farther than the top of the floor. You don’t have to do this with a flush flange. What you want to look for, and what Tom used here, is a 4”x3” Flush Closet Flange with knockout. You can also get them without the knockout cap. If you go to any plumbing supply house and ask for a Sioux Chief TKO Closet Flange with a stainless steel ring, you will get exactly what Tom used and exactly what you need.

Thanks for the clarification, Bruce! You are exactly right!

How now shall we live? Double wax destroyed my life. 😆
