Oatey GIDDS-173390 43539 Replacement Flange Forcast Iron, 4 Inch, PVC

I purchased this to replace the flange I had to bust out in my bathroom. Clean the inside of your cast iron pipe (with a wire brush on your drill) and drop this unit in and tighten the bolts which expands a moveable portion at the bottom of this flange. It will attach to the cast iron pipe as if it were a soldered joint. I have had it in for about 6 months and have NO issues or problems whatsoever.

If you are looking to replace a cast iron flange or fit to a cast iron pipe, it’s a VERY SNUG fit. Be sure to clean the inside of your pipe for corrosion and stuck on debris BEFORE fitting.

Long story short, Ive had to rebuild my house from the studs out over the last 18 months...grrr...Im a short female nurse, NOT a general contractor! So when deciding upon which items to purchase during the last year and a half, I did a little research, read reviews, and also learned brand names in construction and how some are better than others. Thats how I decided this flange would work on my 1st floor commode. SUPER easy to install! Easily tightened the bolts so the gasket filled in the gaps. Again, no experience here and I installed just fine and its not leaking 1 year later :)

This piece really seemed to be perfect for my particular application, where the person who lived in this house previous (and it is an old 1930s era house) had really done a number on installing the old toilet. When I pulled the old one off (made in 67..finally had the tank crack and flood the bathroom), there was no flange of any kind. The guy had used the lead-trick on top of the iron pipe to form a flange...the bolts for the bowl were screwed down into the floor..and of course broke off when I removed the nuts. SO...after much research, and really good reviews on this piece, I ordered it. It fit into the 4 pipe quite well and snugged down very nicely on my practice try...maybe a mistake, because one of the nuts somehow cross-threaded, I think, and I couldnt get it to go either way. So when I went to do the install, I could not tighten all 3 allen-screws down like I wanted. At any rate, I was able to put 3 really nice long wood screws into the floor to secure the flange, and the new toilet fit on it perfectly...level...and we are off and running...well...off and something!!

Made what looked like an ugly job.... nice and easy ;-) Just follow the instructions and see how easy this replacement flange is to install.

Worked great, did what it was exactly intended to do. Very, very easy install. Just make sure its aligned, and measured from the wall for correct rough in.

I have 3.75 inch ID iron closet bend. After scraping sixty five years of caked on poo off of the pipe, it fits perfectly!

Didnt come with hardware

Shove this into the pipe, tighten down the screws and your done. Dont have to tear out concrete or cut the pipe I did use a couple of other repair pieces befor, this is the best so far. Price is a little higher but its worth it not have to do it over when the cheaper products fail

The toilet was clogged and the wax seal was broken in pieces. Be careful not to damage the steel flange that is in the floor. After watching a video, i almost did it. This replacement fits into your existing 4 flange. It makes the opening smaller but it is probably the easiest method to repair the hold downs for the toilet. This product squeezes the rubber between the plastic which expands so the flange seals inside of the 4 metal flange that is in your floor. Using a standard Allen wrench (Make sure you own a standard set of Allen wrenches or know someone that has tools. I used the Korky 6000BP Universal Toilet Wax Free Seal. It comes with hardware, and two dense foam spacers. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOD4R7M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_10
