Thanks for taking the time to record your work. The tips you provided for drilling, and aligning the flange are priceless!
Glad to help
Totally agree with this comment - very useful video. I'll get the stainless steel ring on the flange. Much appreciated - thank you.
Not only are you a skilled tradesman, but you are also A GREAT TEACHER. Those 2 rarely come together. Instant subscriber
Thank you
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 👍
Thank you for watching
Very educational I did not know how to do that correctly. Looks great. But I do hope that you change the color on those walls. That green is very dated. I was just kind of kidding around with you on that.
Put my flange above the floor and the toilet didn't set properly.
Adjust your seal size.
Un herror nunca podrás poner un wax con anillo porque quedaría alto y en esos casos siempre usarás un wax sin anillo Reinforced pero muy educado el muchacho
Best video I have found for not only installation but explanation.
Glad you enjoyed it
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!
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.
Thank you very much
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.
Thank you for watching
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.
Absolutely! And don’t forget his ICE maker skills!! 👍
@@vikithomasson7772 that’s right!!!!!
Thank you both for the vote of confidence! I'd say we both married up! 😁
It's looking so awesome Andrew! I always learn a new trick or two by watching you. Another great video.
Thanks
You need to be so proud. What an accomplishment. Everything you did looks beautiful. Love the flooring.
Thank you very much
Great video! You covered some very important topics and did so in a manner of simple but precise explanation.Thanks!
Glad it was helpful
Thank you for throughly explaining this process. I’m just about to that stage of my flooring process. Great Job 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
I was always told to use purple primer and go up 2-2 /2 in up on both pipes allow for primer to dry not completely but no runs or drips bc it's a primer it also won't allow the glue to adhere dif codes different cities go video tho
Primer is not required by Oatey, even says so on the can. But you must follow local plumbing code. Florida's says primer is not required up to and including 4 inch DWV piping as long as the glue meets a certain ASTM spec, Oatey glue does meet this spec.
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 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
Andrew, I can't say enough good things about your ability to install this flooring. It's all gorgeous.
Thank you very much
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.
Yes it's definitely the correct way to go.
What do you do if the pipe is the same size as the 3or4" flange with the metal ring
Wow, I learned so many cool techniques from you! Even the after-scenes had some great tips!
This is a great video. Thank you for making a very thorough and easy to understand video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
The house is looking awesome. Keep up the great work.
Thank 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.
I agree!
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. 💯🙏😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Your knowledge is amazing..your house is really coming together.
Thank you
Thank you. Can never know enough when it comes to toilets.
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
Super clear demonstration of how to do this. Many Thanks!!!
Glad you found it useful.
I am just in "Awe" with your knowledge to know so much...you do such awesome work...another great video..
Thank you! Not much knowledge, just willing to research and learn.
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
Glad you enjoyed it
Looking GREAT, love the extra care you take......
Thank you
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.
Thank you for watching
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.
Looking great 👍. Thanks for the tips. I always seem to learn something.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your detailed explanation!
This vid was incredibly helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Really well explain thanks for the great info! I will look into those metal toilet fixers for sure!
Glad you enjoyed it
That was great! Thank you; I’m doing the same on Monday.
Thank you for watching
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for, and well explained. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
You're gonna have a vice mounted on that granite "workbench" before this is all over! Looking great!
😁😬
I like this guy… so comfy and clean at work kick off the shoes and relax and work 😂
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...
Thank you for watching, God bless!
Very good work my friend,the texture on the walls looks awesome
Thank you
I always learn something watching your videos!
Glad you enjoy them!
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!!
It's all in the preparation to make sure it fits as intended.
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
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.
Thank you for watching
I want you to come build my house!!!
Will you please come to montana 😊?
Well done!
Very nice install, I always wondered how the floor flange was installed from the rough plumb in. Thanks.
Thank you for watching
15:10 amazed me! I've done many floors but missed a few of those tricks.
Thank you so much for excellent video! Very very clear!
Glad you enjoyed it
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!
They make clear primer as well. Contrary to popular belief it's not required (at least in Florida plumbing code) as long as it's non pressurized pipe up to and including 4 inch. The glue must meet ASTM 2564 standard as well, Oatey does.
@@TKCL Yep, you’re totally correct, I should have done some research before posting.
@@TKCL - If you need to plunge a blockage in the pipe past the flange, it WILL experience pressure, though. Temporary, yes, but better just to prep for it & not need it than need it & not prep for it.
Not everyone includes fiber & adequate water intake in their diet 😂
It's glued, no need for primer. That glue has it chemically bonded, a little plunging or backup will never create enough pressure to break that bond.
Flooring looks great your house is coming together nice
Thank you
I like the way he says, “Pipe”.
He says paaap
Poap
Life too
Pop
And "toelet"
Thank you for being very detailed👍👍👍👍👍
Your welcome
Flooring has went pretty quickly. Looking good Andrew
Thank you
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.
I did around the flange, but not with the screws. I'm willing to risk that small area won't be a problem. If it is, I can always cut the flooring back from the flange.
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!
🤣
Great job, buddy! Thanks for the info!
Glad you enjoyed it
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
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
Thank you for watching
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....
Why thank you!
@@TKCL I normally install the plastic ones. Why? Well here in Canada we got an all plastic one that turns like that. And since I removed many poop holes. I saw many metal flanges that well because of rust and how diffrent metals sometimes cause some reactions. But note it was in 15 years old or more places. But rocking trones make the Queens and Kings feeling seasickness...
The house is looking good!
Thank you
Great job very informative!
Thank you for watching
Great video buddy! Thanks for the tips 👍
Any time!
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.
Very good explanation. I appreciate it.
Thank you for watching
Great video! I saved this video for future reference! Ty!
Great video ... super helpful. I appreciate you buddy!

Great video! Thanks for the help.
Glad you enjoyed it
Video answered my question, thanks. You do do good work... awesome.
Thank you for watching
Excellent job👍👍👍
Good work boss
Thanks
Excellent ! Thank you.
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, 👍😎👍
I show that install in another episode if I remember correctly.
@@TKCL I'll look for it in your videolist, TY,
Let me know if you can't find it, I'll go dig around. It should be the episode after this one, they are numbered.
@@TKCL Most Def, TY,
great work!
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
Learned a lot here. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent video !!! Thx.
Thank you for watching
Great info, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
If my 4inch rough in comes out of the floor slightly angled- do I have to redo it or is it possible to still fit the flange on?
Depends on how severe the angle. Luckily the foam ring and or wax seal you use will take up some of the inconsistencies. But you need your bolts to line up as well. A small angle I can't see hurting, a severe angle and I'd redo it.
good video but im just wondering how close is the toilet bowl gonna stick out in front of shower door.
Zero
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.
I agree on the glue or no glue method.
Glad to see you are wearing socks that have reinforced toes!! Gotta protect those piggies 😂. Kidding good video thank you!
Not wearing nasty shoes and tracking dirt in my home.
Yes, Andrew I did learn something I was not aware of the SS toilet flanges and another great installation on the flooring. I could not see how far you ran the flooring in the "linen closet" in the bathroom. Were you able to get back in there to lay the floor? 👍👍
All the way back! It was a tight fit for me with all of Tiffanys cooking 😁
Still, after such an accomplishment in the house, I would like to see tiffany's reaction seeing it for the first time.
Thank you for making this
Glad you found it useful
Nice Job!
You do good job 👍
Great job! Thank-you
Thank you for watching
I like your show from Massachusetts I’m a country boy too
Thank you for watching
good work and thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
That is true, but on a floor this small with expansion gaps each direction at the wall, I am not concerned.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks.
Multi tools are amazing
They sure are!
I enjoyed watching your video and from my experience installing rough-in plumbing and renovating homes I can say this is a good primer for diy'ers. One thing I wanted to point out if you don't mind. You mention concrete a few times when I think you actually meant thin-set mortar for cement backer boards. I'm sure you know concrete is for slabs and has aggregate in the mix and would never work as a mortar application. The first timer may actually go out and buy concrete mix.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I also noticed a slope tapering from the flange where the thin set mortar was applied. If that is a slope my though is this will cause the toilet to rock or not sit flat.
I also wanted to ask how you determined the location where the hole will be cut in the floor for the flange? Your hole saw cut was precise, but I don't see where you marked the center of the 4" DWV on the plank flooring to get that precisely accurate hole. Perhaps you measured and drew the plan with dimensions in advance on grid paper, with the precise center of the DWV on that plan view. Thank you.
That tiny slope was absorbed by the flooring padding. There is zero rock in our toilets. I laid my flooring down until the hole was mostly covered and found center. I made that mark on the flooring and finished laying. The hole saw has a center bit, so I went back to that mark with the center but and cut it out.
@@TKCL Ok thanks, that makes sense for this type of flooring.
Thank you very much for your videos I learned a lot I am changing my toilet and I have a question the pipe is in metal so how can I glue my flags to the pipe I will appreciate your advice Thank you Martha
Sounds like you have old cast iron piping, it's been obsolete for a long time. I am not familiar with that kind of pipe to give you a good response.
