Things You'll Need:
- Dry cloth rag
- Drain pipe adhesive
- Toilet flange
- Drywall screws
-
Step 1
Rough in the drain pipe for the toilet according to local and national code requirements. Be sure the toilet drain pipe is adequately ventilated to allow for proper drainage. Be sure the opening of the drain pipe that will accept the toilet flange sits below the surface of the subfloor.
-
Step 2
Wipe any dirt off of the drain pipe with a dry cloth rag so the adhesive will bond the pipe and the flange effectively. Coat either the inner surface or the outer surface of the drain pipe (depending on the flange style) with adhesive. Coat the corresponding surface of the toilet flange with adhesive also.
-
Step 3
Press the toilet flange onto the drain pipe and twist the flange so that the toilet bolt notches sit parallel to the wall. If the toilet bolt holes are in the wring position, the toilet cannot be installed correctly. Screw the flange into the subfloor with drywall screws.
-
Step 4
Allow the adhesive to bond the flange to the pipe for at least ½ hour before installing the toilet.
