    Toilet flange help

    Hi Christoph the old plastic closet flange was not recessed enough it was also at an angle its hard to see from the photo but adding the stainless steel ring on the top caused the toilet to not even sit on the floor. I have cut out the old outer Closet flange and will insert a inter 3" closet...

    Toilet flange help

    The flange appears to be connected to the waste pipe... I was hoping there was a gasket so I could remove the old flange level the concrete and insert a new flange.

    Toilet flange help

    Thanks for the comment. You might see 3 smaller holes in the flange I had tried to screw in a new metal flange but by doing that the toilet would not even sit on the floor due to the original flange being so high up. I agree about using the plastic shims and caulking, this has worked well in...

    Can my pump handle the increased pressure

    Thanks VM I have read your very helpful info about check values on your website The shower is running much better now at 40/68 but my guess is the pressure tank is still set to 28 psi to be 2 psi under the old cut in setting. As my pump seemed to run for a while to make it up to 70psi hence...
