replacing flanges on toilet
replacing flanges on toilet
I own a doublewide 2004 Schult trailer. Noticed a problem with the guest bathroom toilet having water around the back side and one side. It has gotten worse over the past year. Removed the toilet, thinking I will just replace the wax ring. Not the case. The flange was cracked, we did not know about flange repair kits so he started trying to take the flange out. My question is are the flanges used in a reg stick built house the same or do i need to get one for this house spacifily? Also it just seems the toilet sits to high off the floor, it has never been flat to the floor .

Re: replacing flanges on toilet
The problem of the toilet sitting too high is almost certainly due to a cracked flange and a damaged or improperly installed wax ring. You will need to install a new flange and should use a flange repair kit. Before installing the new kit, make sure the installation area is completely clean. Remove all old wax, screws and debris from the old flange. Follow the instructions on the repair kit as they may vary. The most common type is to bolt the new metal or plastic flange to the floor to form a solid and secure base.

The flanges are usually the same as in a regular house, but in mobile homes the height can be tricky. A repair kit might fix the crack, and you may need a thicker wax ring if the toilet sits too high. Also check the floor to make sure it’s solid.
