Installing A Toilet Flange On Concrete Floor

This is basically a durable plastic ring which fits over the drainage pipe to create a place where the toilet can gain solid purchase.

Installing a toilet flange on concrete floor.

With the toilet flange in place you are ready to install the toilet with a new wax ring. I am replacing my tile floor and toilet. The process is generally the same but the flange is secured down before the floor is finished. With the drainage pipe ready the floor flange must be installed.

I ll be putting down a tile over concrete. I am considering cutting old bolts and installing flange. Use a pencil or grease pen to mark the drill holes around its. When i got the old tile out i noticed that the floor bolts were coming out of the concrete and there was no flange.

Fit the flange over the pipe to place it flat against the concrete floor. Use tapcon anchors or a similar type of masonry concrete screws to fasten the toilet flange to the concrete slab. In most cases the floor of a bathroom is tiled and in this. If using a plastic flange ring be careful not to crack the ring by screwing the anchors in too far.

Screw the toilet flange onto the concrete. I also will be using a self leveling compound to even out the floor before tiling.
