2520 4x3 Inch ABS Closet Flange

DBRfittings' PVC closet flange is a crucial component in plumbing, used to connect a toilet to the drainage system. It is typically installed on the floor and provides a secure, leak-proof connection between the toilet and the waste pipe. Here's a breakdown of its features and installation:

Key Features:

1. Material: Made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with.

2. Design:

   • A circular flange with bolt slots for securing the toilet.

   • A hub or spigot end that connects to the waste pipe.

3. Types:

   • Standard Flange: For standard installations.

   • Offset Flange: Used when the waste pipe is not aligned with the toilet's position.

   • Spacer or Extension Flange: For raised floors or when additional height is needed.

4. Size: Typically fits 3-inch or 4-inch waste pipes, which are standard for toilet drains.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Area:

   • Ensure the waste pipe is cut flush with the floor.

   • Clean the pipe and surrounding area.

2. Dry Fit the Flange:

   • Test-fit the flange over the waste pipe to ensure a proper fit.

3. Apply PVC Primer and Cement:

   • Use PVC primer to clean and prepare the pipe and flange.

   • Apply PVC cement to both surfaces and quickly join them.

4. Secure the Flange:

   • Insert the flange into the waste pipe and twist slightly to ensure a tight seal.

   • Align the bolt slots perpendicular to the wall for proper toilet placement.

5. Anchor the Flange:

   • Use screws or concrete anchors to secure the flange to the floor.

6. Install the Toilet:

   • Place the wax ring on the flange.

   • Lower the toilet onto the flange, aligning the bolts with the toilet base.

   • Tighten the nuts evenly to avoid cracking the toilet.

Tips:

• Ensure the flange is level with or slightly above the finished floor.

• Use a wax ring or wax-free seal for a watertight connection.

• If the flange is broken or damaged, use a repair kit or replace it entirely.
