I recently roughed in toliet in my mother's basement. I broke away the concrete roughed in the new plumbing and filled the concrete back in. My question is, how do you attach the toliet flange to the concrete floor? I know you just screw it into the subfloor on first and second levels of the house.
Thanks,
PETE

Is "roughed" some fancy Canadian word, or do I just not know anything about plumbing?

Us Canadians are know to use really fancy words. :laugh2:
I know certain terms can differ from Canadaian construction and American construction, but the principals are the same. Platform framing.
we say roughed in, because its simply the abs piping. In new homes the toilet pipe sits out of the concrete in a unfinished basement, its been "roughed in"

Roughed in is an American term too used in the same context :)

Well I asked if it was a fancy word or I don't know anything about plumbing. I guess I should have just started off by saying that I don't know anything about plumbing. Still sounds pretty fancy. :cheers:

I couldn't agree with you more. Still, nobody has the answer to my original question.

Construction adhesive and concrete screws/bolts. You'll need a concrete bit to drill holes for concrete screws, or to attach the concrete anchors for the expansion bolts, and a good corded drill.

Yeah I have all that, mabey PL400? I didn't think expansion bolts where used on a toilet flange.

Quiet, fancy boy.

He means this:(http://www.nickandrozane.com/OtherBathroom/June/ToiletFlange.jpg)

yeah, don't know the name, but I figured it was the flange ring that the anchor posts that mount the toilet attach to. In my basement, they just used construction adhesive to attach the ring, and then caulked the inside edge (as in the above pic).
I would probably go the extra step and use concrete screws in addition (where the screws are in the above pic)
-
So that's a fancy caulk ring?
-
its a flange ring that does 2 things:
- It provides the physical base for the toilet gasket (wax ring) to sit on and mate to the drain pipe
- It holds the flange bolts that hold the toilet in place
-
It's a caulk ring that is for sitting on while mating.
-
for the record, I just snagged the first pic from yahoo of a flange I found. I have no clue why they soldered the crap out of the side of the pipe.
The wax ring serves as the sealing device for a toilet connection.

chad's just trying to make a funny......

I do think it's funny that he can't explain the drippy looking substance all over his caulk ring.
