Toilet flange
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this toilet flange because I have an upcoming project to do in my bathroom. I had to get the extension kit because the place were the toilet is I have to use an extension flange. This is a great product at a great price. Highly recommended this product.

    Great product
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toilet flange extension kit came extremely well packaged. It has many different extensions that can fit the needs of any project. I only used a few extensions, but this product is great.

      Excellent product
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This flange is just what I needed. It feels well made and I am confident it will not break down anytime soon. The package used minimal material, yet secured all the parts and pieces in a nicely compact form. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an extended flange where needed.

        Works just as advertised
        I was concerned about breaking off drill bits trying to drill through the cast iron flange and maybe having to use vise grips to remove a broken screw, but the drilling was surprisingly easy using a good drill bit and the screws went in perfectly. One of my apartments had backer board and ceramic tile added in the bathroom so the flange was a full 3/4" below the floor, meaning it was 1-1/8" too low. This product is perfect for that. I can't recommend it any more highly.

          This one $25 item proved to be the invisible unsung hero of our master bathroom remodel. We were replacing old tile, and the existing copper toilet flange, while in great shape, would have been too low to meet code once new tile plus the proper Wonderboard Lite underlayment and RedGard waterproofing membrane had been added. The Oatey UPC rated kit has multiple stacking rings to customize the new height of the flange ring. The remodel turned out beautifully and the Home Depot rep was happy to order it for in-store pickup. A local plumbing business actually tried to convince me to cut out the very solid flange and drain, remove subfloor and joists, insert a PVC elbow and replace joists that had nothing wrong with them- probably hoping I’d pay his strip-mall rent that month. No thanks! We ladies don't have to fall for that. I can't speak highly enough of this kit.

            I ordered the Oatey Set-Rite toilet flange extension kit model # 43400 for a job.The toilet was leaking downstairs due to a rusted-out toilet flange when I took the toilet off I also noticed the flange was setting below the Finished floor so I installed this Oatey flange kit it made this job easy to complete This is the best toilet flange kit on the market it fixes every toilet flange issue you will ever have. It takes the guesswork out of figuring out what flange to buy. This Oatey Set-Rite flange kit is great for people that are installing new flooring in their bathrooms because there are 4 different sized spacers in this kit which includes 1/8" 1/4" 1/2" 3/4" to bring the flange above the finished floor . This kit also comes with 6 - 3 1/2" self- tapping stainless steel screws. The spacer height ranges from 1/8" to 1-5/8" and with flange that is provided you can reach the total height of 2-1/4" and it comes with a 3/16" gasket. You will have to purchase 1 or 2 wax rings depending on application and you will need a set of brass closet bolts. If you want an easy installation buy this kit you will be very happy. I am a professional I only buy these kits now. This flange kit saves me from a lot of headaches. This is a 5 Star product I do recommend it

            Oatey Set-Rite Toilet Flange Extension Kit. My home is 100 years old and I wanted to install a more water efficient toilet. There is only one toilet so I don’t have the pleasure of time for toilet work and extensive floor repair/replacement. I did not know the condition of the existing plumbing and have not yet decided on what the new floor will be or the necessity for any repairs, replacement, etc., so this feedback is based on how this extension kit could be used to adapt to a low flange. I will use this kit later when I remove the new toilet, and replace the floor. The first thing I noted was my toilet was held to the floor with lag screws; dang it! This means the cast iron flange is probably corroded or broken. Also, new flooring and laminate had previously been applied incorrectly, up to and over the cast iron flange, double dang it! So I won’t know the extent of repairs necessary until I return to this project at a later date, remove the new toilet, and wake up the “sleeping dog”. (I was focused too much on collecting information for this review and while looking at my photos again it appears the entire flange is missing, so I now have to review other options/products available to me for the flange repair before using this product to adjust for flange height. And it explains the unacceptable quick fix of the subfloor being placed flush with the existing drain and the lag screws for holding the toilet. Although working, I am pretty sure a plumber did not do this repair!) Meanwhile, the new toilet is firmly planted to the floor and working nicely, not leaking, and saving water with every flush. I took many photos but can only post six, so I will try to post the six that give the best impression of this product installed with a cast iron flange. For non-plumbers, don’t expect to easily use this kit without some study and plumbing experience, especially if the flange is cast iron requiring drilling. Be sure to note the different set of instructions for cast iron installation versus plastic or metal! Utilize the additional information provided at the Oatey website: https://www.oatey.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/LCS1038_SetRite_Wholesale_Extender.pdf Lower on this web page is an Oatey video showing an animated installation of the system: https://www.oatey.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/LCS1038_SetRite_Wholesale_Extender.pdf This kit is patented, and code and UPC approved, and solves lots of the problems that apply to resetting toilets to flanges that are below floor grade. Additional spacers can be purchased to raise sealing flanges up to 2 1/4”. “Made in USA of US and foreign components”. (Whatever that means - The package was made in the US and everything inside is foreign?)

            When no spacer is required, removing the lip from the yellow flange (as indicated in the instructions) is difficult and required specialized tools.

            Product worked as expected. Required extra clearance around the flange, which took some extra time chipping away tile. Would have been fine, if I had known this before placing tile (user error, but info for the next diy homeowner).

            I had an upstairs toilet that started leaking on pulling the toiler I could readily see that when we had tile floors put in some 6-7 years ago that the installer didn’t correctly raise the flange instead using either an extra tall wax ring or two of them; they were the cause of the leak. Reviewing options I came across some “Set Rite” videos and that appeared to be exactly what I needed to raise the flange. Apparently either Set Rite sold to Oatey or it is dual marketed? Either way it worked like a charm, raised the flange up to 1/4 inch higher that the tile, but in a new toilet and no leaks at all. Very happy. The only difficulty I had was the old flange was steel and in good shape but I found the self drilling screws to not work for me. I had to pre-drill the holes and then no issue. Good to know I now have a properly installed toilet.

            Added a floating floor in bathroom and raised it by 1/4 inch. Old flange was rotten, so I removed the metal junk, spaced it for level with the new floor, permatexed it all, then screwed down the Oatley flange. Perfect.

            Super easy to install. Perfect for my installation. 1000% better than double stacking wax

            For use after floor leveler
            I wish this were stocked. A Lawton, OK, Home Depot electrical guy sent me to a plumbing supply place to get this. They said I didn't know what I was doing and needed to hire one of their plumbers. We're using floor leveler. We need to span the distance from the raised floor to the toilet flange. That plumbing place told me the bolts that hold the toilet down would pull the toilet down to the toilet flange. If the toilet were made of rubber that might be true. Our toilet is made of ceramic.

              This was the perfect solution to our tiled floor and toilet installation. Would recommend without hesitation and will probably use again in our next renovation.

                Haven’t installed yet, but it’s plain to see that it’s going to do what is needed to raise the flange about 1 and 3/4 inches.

                I love everything about Oatey flange extender. It worked better than expected. The variable sized discs were helpful in ensuring the proper height. The screw holes were located in the right place to avoid interference with the existing flange. Great product!
