How to install a toilet flange on wood floor.

When you install a toilet on a wood floor you won t encounter any more difficult problems than you would installing one on any other floor covering. The installation process is the same for a tile floor a hardwood or carpeted bathroom floor. You will place the toilet on these after you disconnect it from the flange. Set the toilet on top of the flange making sure the two closet bolts pass through the holes in the toilet s base.

You may have to shim up the toilet or use a toilet base slab to prevent rocking. Use a ratchet wrench to tighten the four stainless steel screws that secure the flange to the floor. Large bolts thread up through. Next install a new wax ring.

You could also place the removed toilet in a nearby tub or shower stall but there s a chance the bottom of the toilet. There are two options this step. Leave enough room to work on the toilet flange but lay the newspapers or towels close by so you don t have to move the toilet too far. Rest the toilet bowl on its side place it on a towel or cloth to protect the floor and attach the replacement wax ring to the bottom of the bowl this technique helps ensure the ring is in the proper position when placing the toilet over the flange.

Place newspapers or towels on the floor next to the toilet. A toilet drain flange can sit above or below the finished floor level.
