How to Install a Toilet Flange

A toilet flange, also called a closet flange, is a pipe fitting that secures a toilet to the finished floor. The flange also securely attaches the toilet to your home’s drainage system. Whether repairing or installing a new flange, Oatey has durable, reliable products that will allow you to easily complete your next project.

How to Repair a Toilet Flange

Noticing a rocking or leaking toilet? This could mean you have a broken toilet flange. A broken flange can cause your toilet to move because it is no longer secured to the flange, which is anchored to the subfloor. The rocking can cause the wax seal between the toilet and the flange to break, allowing water to leak onto the substrate and the ceiling below when the toilet is flushed. This can be easily fixed in just a few steps using Oatey’s easy to use flange repair products.
