What is the toilet flange?
Toilet flange flange is a device used to extend the drain pipe to the toilet. It is commonly used to install a new bathroom floor, the toilet flange allows you to increase the toilet while still connecting to the main sewage pipe. The toilet flange extensioner serves a double purpose in that it not only provides a connection with the sewer; The flange also provides a connection between the toilet and the floor. This flange is located by two connecting screws that provide the toilet on the floor. The flange is attached to the floor by means of screws that prevent the assembly from moving once in place. This not only strengthens the new floor, but saves a lot of time and creates new access holes for water and drain pipes. The new floor is simply installed using the existing floor as a template and by placing the necessary access holes in the same position of the existing hole. One problem, however, that it creates is the toilet that is the distance of the thickness of the new floor from the connectionto the sewer tube. This can also happen when installing ceramic tiles through an existing floor.
usually solves this problem with the toilet flange. Made of plastic, the extension of the toilet flange is simply purchased at the desired height and slips to the position in the open sewer tube. Once in the position, the extender of the toilet flange ensures the steel of the stainless steel screws around the perimeter of the flange and into the new underfloor material. Stainless steel screws are used to prevent rusting screws in humid environments. Other types of metal screws that can be used include brass or aluminum.
Before placing the toilet on the position and securing on the floor there is a wax ring over the top of the Flange. The soft wax ring corresponds to the shape of a cast toilet that may vary due to scattering in the casting techniques. It forms a seal resistant to the leak between the toilet and the extension pRoman toilet, which is able to withstand in a typical installation for several years. The toilet is located on two mounting screws that rise up and out of the flange, and is provided on the site of installing two brass nuts that are tightened for these screws. Some manufacturers recommend re -securing the mounting screws after several uses to compensate for any slight toilet toilet in wax for use.
