Q Is there a ange available used to replace a broken or corroded cast iron ange for a toilet?
A Oatey offers three styles of repair anges for this application. All anges must be screwed into the suboor
before setting the toilet bowl into place. This sometimes requires drilling pilot holes through the nished ooring.
1. The No-Caulk cast iron repair ange comes in two depths. Once the old ange is removed and cast iron
pipe is cleaned off, these anges will slide over the vertical cast iron drain pipe. The at side of the gasket
should be facing down and resting on the inside bottom lip of the ange. Tightening the four bolts in even
rotation will compress the gasket against the outside of the pipe, and create a water tight seal. Remember the
bottom of the ange must be set on top of the nished ooring, and screwed into the suboor.
2. The PVC or ABS Twist-N-Set repair ange inserts into the vertical cast iron drain pipe after the old ange
is removed. The gasket tightens as the ange is turned in a clockwise rotation. Remember the bottom of the
ange must be set on top of the nished ooring, and screwed into the suboor.
3. The PVC or ABS Replacement closet repair ange inserts into the vertical cast iron drain pipe after the
old ange is removed. This ange is sealed by the tightening of three stainless steel bolts in even rotation.
This compresses the gasket between the outside of the ange tail piece and inside of the cast iron drain.
Remember the bottom of the ange must be set on top of the nished ooring, and screwed into the suboor.
