this is what i needed to see, thanks. Took me going through 50 or more vid's before this one came up. The others had the flange already installed. I wanted to see it from cutting it down. thanks
Pretty sure the issue you ran across with the 4th concrete screw was you hit a piece of metal re-rod bar. they lay that through out the concrete when they pour it. Great video BTW, very step by step, clear and to the point thanks!
Good comments. Great video in detail. Your 4th screw may have also meant you needed another bit. The bits get ate up fast in concrete. The same with metal I went throug cobalt bits changing out an old style balljoint. The rivets just are them up.
Excellent. I used to teach in the military so every soldier could understand. Now, that's the way you did it. It's almost idiot proof (there's always one in the crowd)
This looks very similar to what my builder roughed in my basement. Did you already have a soil stack, or was it necessary to tie in to your existing stack?
Are people still caulking around the base of the toilet and the ground? Very good video. I've never started a project from the beginning before. Does anyone know of a site I could go to that would help out? I want to do a bathroom downstairs and I'm starting from just the capped pipes coming from the floor?
Tim Agnello I don’t think you need to caulk around the bottom. For your project I would just start and tackle each problem as it comes. None of us were born knowing how to do any of this!
I was told once that if you do caulk, only do it around the sides and front - leave the back open. That way if you do develop a leak you’ll see it, and the water won’t be trapped under the toilet.

same tis a quality video!
Very helpful. Even my plumber could not figure out how to install the floor drainage toilet.
This saved the day.
moffat antony I’m very happy to hear it helped you in some way

Thanks for the very specific directions. Easier than I thought it would be!
If you could not drill down you may have hit some of the rebar that is used to hold the concrete together.
Excellent video. Very instructional.
This fits my exact scenario! Thank you
thanks. measure twice and cut once go slow you can do it.

I think it hit rebar or a rock.
We not talking about the kid jumping on the other kid’s face at 3:15?
Videos got merged on upload. I’m leaving it because that’s they type of activity that was reality upstairs when I did this video.
I love it! I just figured maybe you were seeing if anyone was paying attention. Hahaha

thanks Jim! means a lot coming from you. I try to explain things in a linear way
That's scary. Yous need a new plumber
Nice toilet install. Good choice of toilet too. I love american standard toilets. 😊
Thanks Dave. This was the cheapest toilet at Lowes, and also had the best reviews.
Could be a piece of rebar as to why you couldn't drill in the concrete.
maybe. Or a rock
Another reason could be the you hit rocks that was mixed with concrete, I'm trying to do same thing and is a pain to go through the rocks...
either rebar or a rock. it is a pain and 20% of the time it seems to happen
put the wax ring on the toilet not the flange. you want to guarantee a good seal.
figured it was easier on the ground. never had a leak doing it like this.

haha there is no side to side because u maxed out the flange. it could be twisted u just did that one little small part wrong i am plumber 55+ years
if you had opportunity is it best to install the flange on the concrete floor or ontop of the finished tile floor?
probably both would work. May be cleaner to mount on finished floor rather than tiling around the flange.
Perfect! Thanks!!
I wouldn't use glue for that connection. You may have to remove it in the future. Silicone might be a better choice.
what glue? That is a tube of silicone
Good video just think toilet is too close to shower.
there's only so much room....
Is rebar in the cement.
yes. I wonder what happens if you shoot one of those gun nails into it?
Could have been a stupidly hard rock.
Even a small super hard rock in the mix will stop the most determined concrete drill bit.
Can the toilet be any closer too the shower
should there be a gap?
Holy shit, all I hear is the sniffling
pre-covid too
was this a 4" pipe?
i think so. standard north american
rock
Could hit rebar
Noice!
Had to stop watching because of all of the nose sniffling noises
I had Covid-16
