I love RUclips handymen who don't speak like they're high or drunk or Forrest Gump. Extremely well done. I would have used masonry bits but otherwise good. Never see those flanges before; excellent innovation. Thanks.
We appreciate that, thank YOU! We agree 100%, this innovation is pretty neat. 😎👍

Using a regular drill and bits instead of hammer drill and masonry drill bit for concrete?
We appreciate you watching, hope all is well. Enjoy your day.

I was scrolling down for this post 😂😂😂 no one else noticed. Killed the drill bit after first insert. I’m a plumber and he did a B+ job but you see the rookie come out of him here
This is so helpful. Thank you!

What a great video!! Thank you!!
Hey Douglas, you are welcome. Thank YOU for watching. 😎👍
great video, plumber quoted me $1500 to fix a high flange. I can do this myself now for just a couple hours of work.
You are very welcome, thank YOU for taking on this DIY project. We will be here the entire time you work through it.
Keep us posted on your progress and any questions you may have.
@@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.
mine has a 45' would this work ad well?
Thank You! Fixed my rocking toilet
Awesome, that’s great news!! We are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community.

Awesome video. Super helpful
Good morning ☕️
We are honored to read this, thank you. Looking forward to 2024, many more helpful videos to come. 🧰
Methinks a multi tool would make cutting the old flange off easier; would go nicely along with your dremel technique.
Sweet. I may be doing this soon and now I know how. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for watching. You can definitely do this, and we will be here to answer questions as you work through it. Keep us posted.

Hi and thanks for sharing… I’m planning to tear out my subfloor so I don’t have such a noticeable transition plus I’m doing new floor and tiles for bathroom. I’m thinking I should be able to drop the toilet the three eights to half inch without doing anything major.
Your intake? Thanks
You are welcome, sounds like you have a project ahead of you. Keep us posted on your fun. 😎👍
What would you recommend if the toilet elbow sits like an inch and a half above the finished floor? I’d worry about cutting so much of the pvc.
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?
Wow...this might have just made my job a LOT easier. My flange sits about 1/4 high and wobbles all over the place. I thought I was going to have to get under the house and do some cutting and gluing. This looks like just about the perfect solution.
Good morning, thanks for watching. We are excited to hear back from you on your project. Any update?
Keep us posted, us DIYers need to stick together!!!

Huge price difference between the gasketed flange and a typical glue-on flange.
Thanks for watching, which one did you end up going with?
great video keep making more bro
We are honored to read this, and many more helpful videos to come! 😎👍
I'm working with a 45 year old flange that will not budge. The flange sat about 1/2" above the subfloor (the builder cut a big square hole and put down the carpet, then put flange on top of carpet anchoring it to nothing.) After 2 days of using 2 different hack saws and a sawzall I have most of the flange down to the level of the pipe which is about an inch below the subfloor. I have made several vertical cuts but whatever was used to glue in that flange is not budging. Any suggestions?
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.
Do you still need to use a wax ring when using this PVC flange?
Thanks for watching, great question. You will still want to properly install a wax ring. Please keep us posted on your DIY project.
😎👍
Two story townhome built by lennar homes. Bottom half bath had flange above tile floor. Toto Drake II toilet didn't like it. Then I discovered the flange wasn't screwed into ground, it was glued instead into the other pipe. Had to resort to using a glue gun and then pried it off. House projects never seem to go easy peasy and ends up being an all day learning experience.
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 RUclips 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.

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.
🧰👍
Good video. Was not aware you could break away that flange without damaging the main pipe. Was it just preference to use the rubber gasket flange VS re-gluing a new flange into the pipe?
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.
Use concrete bits for tile
Good morning ☕️ thanks for sharing this. Any and all feedback is always welcome here on our channel. 🧰
My 3” pipe is flush with the slab but looks like bottom of my flange will stick up past the finished tile. Might try the dremel to cut away some of the pipe so the flange can sit lower, so thank you 🙏
Good morning, we are drinking our morning coffee answering any and all questions for the DIY community.
This is an awesome adapter, we are looking forward to hearing back from you. Please let us know if you have any questions, we DIYers need to stick together!!! 👍
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
Good job..however you can always get an inside pipe cutter..only few bucks..and lob it off.
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. 😎👍
I hate my high toilet flange! Toilet always wobbles. I need to do this. Thanks for your video
You are very welcome, please keep us posted on your project. Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Excellent teacher

Thanks for watching. 😎👍
Get an oscillating tool. Has flat plate to cut many uses
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!!!
😁👍
This is the second one for the basement bat. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOuLt8IL_GxhhaK8DBuKEL-zV0UJVpWZn , works great
Thanks for watching.
Maybe an oscillating saw would be handy?
Good morning ☕️ it definitely may be. Thanks for watching. 😁👍
I have same problem,even though my flange is sitting on the tile , my toilet is new and clearing the 1/2 flange like the one you have , trouble finding videos were the 1/2 flange still too high.?
Thanks for watching, we know the feeling. Hopefully this video helps.
Please keep us posted. 👍
I have never seen a rubber seal flange like this. The tiles should have been contoured (use a grinder and diamond wheel) to fit the round flange, otherwise a great video.
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.
An oscillating saw with a bi-metal blade would have made quick work if that pipe.
Thanks for watching, any & all helpful info is greatly appreciated. 😎👍
Need a oscillator saw
😁👍 Thanks for watching.
I listened but could not make out if your drill is a hammer drill. And I'm sure you already know this. We use a hammer drill for pre-drilling holes in concrete for concrete screws. Excellent video - thanks!
did he just use a steel bit to drill masonry??? That bit is done...
Thanks for watching, let us know if you have any questions. 😎👍
My flange is on top of the floor and the toilet still doesn't sit right
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.
nice circular saw, oh wait.
Thanks for watching. 😁👍
mines cast iron -_-
Good morning ☕️ how did your project go? Please let us know if you have any questions. 🧰
Had a plumber tell me this would cost 2000 bucks sold me a 300 dollar stone to raise the toilet now im pissed
Thanks for watching, $2,000…..😲….that’s HIGH!!!
Well we are always here to help answer questions. Let us know if we can help.
Mother in law will unfortunately will now have non wobley toilet.
Thanks for watching, how did the project go? Let us know if you have any questions. 😎👍
What about a metal flange?
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.
😎👍
My dad wants to just drill into the flange and put screws into the floor to sableize it.
Feedback Please
It is a metal flange
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. 😎👍
Surely you have some power tools
You are not flush to the floor. Flush would mean at the same level, not surface mounted.
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. 👍
I was scrolling down the post to see if anyone else noticed. He’s using the wrong kind of drill and drill bit. He needs a hammer drill and concrete drill bits. He Killed the drill bit after first insert. I’m a plumber and he did a B-job but you see the rookie come out of him here
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.
Excellent video!
