Hi,
I just replaced my subfloor and put in LVT in my half bath. I have 3 inch PVC coming up through my floor, but since I removed the previous flange, the pipe is slightly below the finished floor, about 3/4 of an inch. I bought 2 flanges, and can't figure out the best way to proceed.
Here is my dilemma/questions:
- If I use the 4x3 flange and cement over the 3 inch pipe, how much pipe has to go inside the flange? Is it ok as long as I have contact all the way around, or does the 3" pipe need to go as far inside the flange as possible, and would I need to extend the 3 inch drain pipe?
- If I use the 3" drop flange the goes inside the pipe, same question. How much of the flange needs to be inside the pipe? As long as there is contact all the way around it should be good right? Also, I typically use Better than wax seals, which can't be used with this type of flange due to the diameter being 2.5 inches. Does anyone know if the Danco perfect seal would work with this flange?
Thanks!
