How do you install an Oatey closet flange spacer

Hey Isemanski:

If the spacers have foam/rubber backing then you should just need to clean the closet flange very well with rags and finally with a rubbing alcohol to remove all the wax residue that you can from the flange. Then you simply install the closet bolts through the first spacer and install each additional spacer on top of the other one, etc...

Then screw through all the flanges with long rust-proof screws and screw the spacers to the floor. Then just install the toilet as normal.

If spacers do not have foam/rubber backing then you will need to clean the old flange even better and then take some adhesive caulking and put it between the old flange and the first spacer, then repeat this between each additional spacer and secure as above (be sure to install the bolts through the first spacer, first). Be generous with the adhesive as after tightening down to floor you can remove the excess.

Let this dry 24 hours before installing the toilet.

Let me know if need more... ;)
