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 suboor
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 suboor.
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 suboor.
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 suboor.
