I was wondering how I go about installing a toilet flange in a basement with concrete floors? Is there a process that I should be following? Any assistance is appreciated.

What material is the pipe coming out of the floor? Tom

Pvc

First of all you're going to hafta tell me what flange you wish to use. See a selection at;
PVC Closet Flange - Contractor Access Part # 40012 - PVC Sch.40 - Contractor Access Let me know what you decide. Tom

The pipe coming out of the floor is a 4" pvc, so i think i am comfortable with using a 4" flange, the one at the top of this link. Do I need to build up the floor or will there be sufficient room under the toilet to keep it flush to the concrete?

Your bowl is elevated about a inch so it should clear with no problem. Don't forget to prime before you glue. Good luck, Tom

Thanks Tom!

Hi Newbiedad...

In the best case, you want to install the tile/mortar first and then install the closet flange.

If the contractor wrapped the PVC pipe with a foam wrap that can be pulled from around the pipe then you will need to pull that wrap and install a regular 4" closet flange.

If the contractor did NOT wrap the pipe and concrete is up tight to the 4" PVC pipe then you will need to install a 4" twist and set (or similar) closet flange... see images.

Good luck!

Thanks mark, no wrap...
