It's great how you go the extra mile and clean while you work. A lot of plumbers would just plop the new toilet on top of the old dirt and call it good. I also love those easy to remove seats. It makes cleaning so much easier.
Yes but notice he put the dirty paper towels the toilet drain or whatever you want to call it and didn't even bother to remove them before putting the new toilet in place
Update: Video and parts recommended in Steve's video were a huge success in my bathroom project. My installation of a new American Standard Cadet toilet was extremely easy and cost effective. He is a rock star in my house. Thank you very much.
What a fun intro on this instructional video -- the good morning doggy dance, getting ready to go to work! :-) Thanks for the instruction. Great camera work ... we can see every detail of each step.
Thank You for posting this video. I'm renovating my bathroom and guess what kind of flange is in there? Rusted and Rotten. I can tell you're a good man just by the way you talk to your dog! Kudos.
My parents added a second floor in-law apartment to their home some years ago and the plumber installed a steel toilet flange. It lasted maybe ten years before rotting away. I used a hobby motor tool to carve away the PVC part of the flange and installed a PVC flange. The motor tool works great too on those brass bolts that secure the toilet tank.
I just did one of these today, same Oatey flange. I' have always installed the wax ring to the WC first. Nothing like replacing a metal ring, with well, a metal ring.
I love the "Why would some one not want to wear gloves" comment i just watched the This old house video on this and i was thinking the exact same thing the entire time.
I thought you hated those? I watch every video, I love your channel. I learn something new everyone, I've been been a Plumber for 5 years now and your knowledge is priceless. Thanks so much for sharing your videos!
Sweet doggy. She sure loves you. I'm a dog lover too, Collies. They like to snorfull around when I'm doing things around my house, and I have to shoe them away :)
+Michael Ponte toilet was fin just to low for her being elderly now so she wanted a handicap hight toilet she made a wise choice changing it i know there was a issue with the flange . but did not know it would be this bad
dude you got a new subscriber! this was great! Man I live in a condo on a 2nd story floor and neighbor said water is coming down just a little when a flush. looks like I'm redoing a wax ring and possibly a flange tomorrow. I wish you could do it! I'd love for a professional to take care of it since I have little plumbing experience. The videos are helpful however thanks! Wish me luck!
Liked all the install except the tank bolts that were not double nutted (one on the under side of the tank, and the one on the under side of the base to secure) cant tell you how many times i get tank to bowl leaks because the seal inside the tank has rotted. they make seals for the underside of the tank that you nut as well... it makes removing the tank and keeping it water tight possible.
Damaged flanges are a pain in the ass to deal with. I’ve replaced a few & use the Danco Hydroseat flange replacement , which is easy to install & makes sure the toilet stays solid on the floor and doesn’t leak. I don’t know what your thoughts are on this product, but it always seems to work well for me. Like you, I always clean up after I finish a job.
Nice pastel blue toilet. I worked on a house once that had a pastel blue in one bath and a pastel yellow in another. This is the first time I’ve seen one of those since then. I don’t know why they make the key ways so small. Personally I like a little more margin for error
Our previous homeowners installed a new toilet over a rotten flange and fucked it up so badly the wax ring was half blocking the pipe. I am here to figure out how to fix it
Wouldn't it have been nice not to use your gloved hands to handle the waste around the broken flange/wax ring with a plastic/metal scraper and clean the area before starting the repair. And then, change your gloves if you decide to pick up the trash using the gloves? There's a bit of nasty transferring the mess to the toilet, seat/cover and parts like the flush handle. I suppose I work a bit different. 8-) >...Lastly, the "slow-close" seat is not as great as it looks. It does not account for one who has to lift the seat and cover to pi$$ standing. It's ok just to close the cover for guests, but otherwise, the top or BOTH pieces would have to be raised up before/after the pi$$ just to avoid slamming.
did you screw into the tile?? what type of screws did you use to get them in like that? wouldn't you need a pilot hole first or some kind of anchor/fastner?
I agree with your assessment you should never put paper towels down the toilet drain even if you don't have the toilet in that spot at that very moment.
People don't realize that you're not doing one or two jobs, you do this stuff everyday, I've seen guys that have lost parts or even an entire finger or two from not wearing gloves and then getting infections from shit, good video Steve
If you see a rotted subfloor, do you stop and tell them to get a carpenter, or do you cut out the rotted area, replace the wood yourself, and finish the repair?
Good repair with a minimum of repair parts. I'm sure she'll love the slow close top and never hear that loud bang, from the occasional slip of the hand. Have you ever seen a broken toilet from a toilet seat banging down on the top from a slip?
I am a fan of all your videos. I was curious how you made the PVC pump used for pumping out toilet tanks and bowls. I would like to make one for this purpose, being a DIY man, so I was curious what you used to make this handy tool. Keep up the great videos!
nive video steve....what type of screws did u use to tighten down the repair ring was it a wood floor for regular screws or concrete sub floor that u used sum different type of screws??
I was wondering the same thing Steve. Galvanized concrete screws or did you pre drill through the tile off film? I have a concrete floor and using a solid repair ring from Sioux Chief but I'm not sure I want to drill down into the floor so close to the edge of the hole. BTW, I just started watching your videos and you do a great job on them!
+justin henning young plumbers argue with me why don't i use these adjustable flanges like this ,perfect example why i never use them in this video .i usally only install stuff that will last over time . and them adjustable flanges to not hold up the metal will rot away
steven lavimoniere completely agree with u , I will say over 50 % of toilets I lift that have a metal flange are damaged. The only down fall with using plastic is guys that over tighten and break them .

He did flush and nothing clogged but I was the owner I would be watching and said something.

I have a little brown mixed-breed dog I rescued and now she is my best buddy and it is funny how attached you get to those pups. Nice installation.
Good solid mounting on that flange. That's not going anywhere! Great attention to detail with cleaning up the floor Steve. Job well done!
+Fireship1 this is why i never bye them adjustable metal closet flanges . i have seen this happen to many times
Best part of the workday is meeting the dog back in the truck!
You are just an awesome plumber, and a Master HVAC Technician!
+Don Burton thanks for watching

Who the hell has wind chimes in the bathroom LOL. Is it a fart detection apparatus?
No, it is a fart-masking apparatus for when guests are over and they do not want to hear bathroom noises.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! All the information you shared helped me to replace our toilet. I couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks for the courage you have given me and I guess many others. This is something I can do!
Thanks for the video, very informative. The doggy doing the dance was precious!
Great video, nice to have parts on the truck so you don't have to go to the parts house every time. Thanks have a good weekend.
Nice fix Steve I haven't repaired a flange in years looks good and great clean up job
+Vincent Padalino this one was rotted bad .
Always enjoy seeing your cute little 🐶 Molly.
Thank you for this video! It has definitely given me a good idea on how to deal with a very strange looking toilet flange.
Nice one Steve. Those fast set bolts look like the real deal. Definitely makes the install easier
I just did one of these today, same Oatey flange. I' have always installed the wax ring to the WC first. Nothing like replacing a metal ring, with well, a metal ring.
Nice install, Steven. Slow close, like an elevator door. Keeping the work area tidy. Baby the Florida dog!
+Randy Kocian i try to clean up under toilet makes for a better job
I love the "Why would some one not want to wear gloves" comment i just watched the This old house video on this and i was thinking the exact same thing the entire time.
I like your videos, Steve. You should start a reality show! You've got me talking like you now.
+Mark Brunell thanks for the support & for watching
Nice install, Steve. That "slow-close" seat is great.
+Richard B a bit pricey but good
Love your little dog, I am a dog lover anyone that loves a dog like you do cant be a bad person.
I like the quote from Bill Murray. Paraphrased: "I don't trust people who don't like dogs but when a dog doesn't like a person, I trust the dog."
Hitler loved his dog...
Just sayin'...
Dude, this job was EXACTLY, PRECISELY what I needed!! Thanks!!
This is exactly what I found today while I did mine today, orange plastic and everything. Thanks for the advice!
I really like that toilet, especially how it closes,nice work Steve!!
I thought you hated those? I watch every video, I love your channel. I learn something new everyone, I've been been a Plumber for 5 years now and your knowledge is priceless. Thanks so much for sharing your videos!
Enjoyed the video, Steve. You are a good Plumber.
Nice work, you make it all seem so easy!
Thanks Steve .
I watch all your vids....
Very educational and fun.
We should get a beer sometime. .
Sweet doggy. She sure loves you. I'm a dog lover too, Collies. They like to snorfull around when I'm doing things around my house, and I have to shoe them away :)
If you keep your truck idleing for a expanded period of time you should raise the rpm to decrease the amount of glazing you cylinderwalls. Great Job
Good sir, I love your dog!! She is very cute!
I have a cat and I don't know what I would do without her!!
This man takes pride in his work, good one
I can't believe you installed the wax ring without ever cleaning the debris from off of the flange. I can't think of a better way to get a leak.
I agree. He never cleans anything. I would ever hire him.
Excellent job steve, looks great .
Gloves , I don't need no gloves , should have eaten lunch too at the same time , boak. Nasty one fixed again Steve , love to the baby dog
Love to see happy dogs!!
great job again Steve. I remember back in the seventies when I was building my house those colors like blue and Harvest Gold we're very popular
+Michael Ponte toilet was fin just to low for her being elderly now so she wanted a handicap hight toilet she made a wise choice changing it i know there was a issue with the flange . but did not know it would be this bad
Exactly the way i would repair!Nice job Steve!!!
Thanks for the video - helped me out in the middle of my toilet replacement!
you related to super mario by any chanse? Next level brother, good work!
May I suggest a bench broom and a tile sponge as well as a dust pan?
dude you got a new subscriber! this was great!

Great video Steve
love the gerber toilets
+dklucas1 thanks
Thank you very much for the installation video.
Great video Steve Like the new install !!
Success! You made me look like a pro today, thank you!
Great job Steven as usual.
Awesome walkthrough!! Thank you for making this video!!
Steve Great Job! Thanks for the quality videos you make
Great informative video! Really helpful for DIY guys like me! Love the doggie dance, my chowowa does the same thing!
Joe Caliri New Portland, Maine
AWESOME WORK. Thanks for posting!
your great plumber.. you got your little doggie helper. great educational videos. take car man.
Did you drill first in the tile and put in plastic anchors??
Your dog Molly is the cutest!
That's what I call a "shit job." Nice repair job Steven! I hope you are not receiving any comments asking why do you wear gloves!!!
Hey, man. How cute your dog is!
why don't they make those out of stainless steel so they don't rust out????
Liked all the install except the tank bolts that were not double nutted (one on the under side of the tank, and the one on the under side of the base to secure) cant tell you how many times i get tank to bowl leaks because the seal inside the tank has rotted. they make seals for the underside of the tank that you nut as well... it makes removing the tank and keeping it water tight possible.

thats so nice how you clean up the floor
+dijornopizza did not take to long to clean the floor
Good job Steve.
+Gary B thanks
Mom will you call this guy & see if he's hiring?
Paper towels in the drain, u hoping for a clogged drain job soon.
Nice, Steve. Thanks. You may want to suggest NOT tightening the bolts too much, to avoid cracking the porcelain. That would really suck!
Great video. Very informative!
Thanks, saved me. I maybe replacing the floor.
Our previous homeowners installed a new toilet over a rotten flange and fucked it up so badly the wax ring was half blocking the pipe. I am here to figure out how to fix it
Bless you, I did this and it worked very nicely
Didn't even know they made new rings for those. I always cut em out and put in a long shank insert flamge
The plumbers that don't wear gloves are probably the ones that chew their fingernails, and prefer their nails extra tasty.

When he is talking to his dog he sounds like "Carl" from "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
It don't matter. None of this matters.
Adam Sandler
Love the pup!
did you screw into the tile??
what type of screws did you use to get them in like that?
wouldn't you need a pilot hole first or some kind of anchor/fastner?
Wiliam Vandiver I'm sure he is upstairs by the way he used screw driver to break out tile and then he was using wood screws
Ah I see... now that makes sense
Nice work Steve
+RomTop Instal thanks
Who else is bothered that he didnt clean up properly before putting in the flange?
JC it's a shitter your not Gonna eat off it.
@@Gbelske The pro attitude. This is why we DIY.
Raising my hand. Not to mention no silicone on the screws.
@@Gbelske No but to cut down on the odor of what looks like old urine yuck
cool, Repair kit, and i like the seat.
Baby gets really excited when you open the door on the ice cream truck.
+ManicMechanic007 she has separation anxiety
Great video, very helpful thank you.
+JandJ Swanson thanks for the comment
You should not dump the tissues inside the hole. Should be put in a plastic bag and throw it into the dustbin.
I agree with your assessment you should never put paper towels down the toilet drain even if you don't have the toilet in that spot at that very moment.
It’s toilet paper you dolts!!
Is it better to place the wax ring over the flange, or on the bottom of the toilet first.??
nice video, you made it look eazy.
I’ll say one thing…these bathrooms make mine look like the Taj Mahal, Mama…
great video!!!baby dog is the star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People don't realize that you're not doing one or two jobs, you do this stuff everyday, I've seen guys that have lost parts or even an entire finger or two from not wearing gloves and then getting infections from shit, good video Steve
Couldn't help but notice that you still had those nasty gloves on when you flushed the toilet and handled the lid and seat.
What are the two brass bolts you slipped into the stainless gasket? do you know the manufacturer and the size? Any specs would be helpful. Thank you.
love the vid, thanks for sharing your expertise

What about caulking around the base at the floor.. Not needed?
Steve, Try Spray Nine for cleaning floor. Stuff is awesome.
