86Dolphino Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Anyone know if the toilet flange that the toilet bolts to come right out or is it usually glued in or screwed in? Mine doesn’t allow me to bolt my toilet down very tight. It’s blown out some, where the bolts slide in. Wondering if anyone knew what kind of job I was getting into to replace that?

Maineah Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 They are standard plumbing fittings the only difference is the material for the flange seal do not use a standard wax toilet seal there are ones just for RV's they don't melt in hot weather!

86Dolphino Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 So do you know if it’s just slightly pressed in or threaded in or glued in? My fear is it might be glued in. My new toilet will come with the foam seal ring. But my flange is blown out some and needs to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a standard residential toilet flange you can buy repair kits at most hardware and big box stores. Don’t try to pry or remove what’s there. They’re usually bonded to a DVW fitting.

86Dolphino Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 Well I now see this post lol. I got the old flange off and put on a twist flange. The new one is on, hope I didn’t crack anything tho. It’s on tight. I will say the rubber pipe coming up from the holding tank seemed Malleable still. So I should be ok. The old flange was cracked and almost all my screws were rusted out and really not holding the flange down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
