    Installing a toilet
    Does the toilet flange need to be level in all directions? If so and it is not, what do I do? It is level front to back but not right to left. Thanks! Pah

    There are 2 thicknesses of was rings you can buy. Buy the thick one. This Wax ring is about 1 1/2" thick. It will compensate for unevenness of the floor. Thank you. Milo
