Toilet flange question
I will be replacing my toilet this weekend. The last time I had the
toilet off I had a terrible time with the bolts because the flange has eroded over the years. I was told that there is a ring that fits over the flange with a series of bolt holes so that you can attach the ring to the flange and have new support for the bolts to attach the toilet to. Any idea's? |

I think the suggestions from Beta-32 and Layperson Tom were what my friend was suggesting, BUT the closet flange that Sacramento Dave suggested looks like it would be more secure and have a better seal. I am asssuming that the bottom rubber part stretches around the old flange and then attaches to the top??? I'm off work today and will see what the Home Depot and Lowes has to offer. Thanks to all. |

That is one improvement on how-to-do-it that was called for years ago. Harry K |

Some of those have a Rubber cover for testing. Don't forget to cut it out before you mount the water closet, it dose happen. |
