    All flanges are installed so they set on TOP of the finish floor whether it be tile or hardwood, for example. Then they are screwed down to floor through the tile (using a 1/4" masonry bit to drill tile 1st) or just through to the floor.

    What kind of flange are you installing? PVC, CAST IRON? ABS PLASTIC, etc..?

    Let me know if need more..
