  What is a brass closet flange?

  A standard closet flange comprises an ABS or PVC hub with a round steel mounting flange attached to the top. Other styles are copper, brass, stainless steel, or pure plastic. A wax ring is used to seal the gap between the flange and the bottom of the toilet. In plumbing, a closet flange (also known as a toilet flange) is a pipe fitting (specifically, a type of flange) that mounts a toilet to the floor and connects the toilet drain to a drain pipe.

A brass closet flange is a plumbing device used in shared bathrooms to create a watertight seal. It can be installed in most bathtubs and sinks, but not all. If you have a sink with an overflow hole or if the tub has two faucets, then this won’t work for your needs. The installation process is quick and easy, so let’s get started!

Step One: Shut off the water supply. Just turn your main shutoff valve to the right until it stops turning, and you’re all set! This will make sure that no one depends on any of the faucets or showers while we are working. You’ll need a wrench for this step if possible, but another way is to turn them clockwise with some pliers (which I used).

Step Two: Remove your existing flange from the inside of the sink/tub. Turn counter-clockwise until it’s free; then remove it carefully so that nothing breaks in either place. If there were screws involved, they should also come out easily at this point. Now put these away somewhere safe so they won’t get lost since you’ll need them later.

Step Three: Insert the brass flange into your sink/tub opening. Make sure that it is facing the correct way (there’s usually a little arrow on it), and then push it in until it’s tight. If there were screws, put them back in now and tighten them up to secure everything.

Step Four: Turn on the water supply and check for leaks around where the flange is installed. If you see any, quickly turn off the water and fix them before proceeding; leaks can cause severe damage down the road! Once you’re confident that everything is good to go, pat yourself on the back- you’ve just installed a brass flange!

Step Five: If you have any problems with the installation, talk to your local plumber. They will be happy to assist you in getting everything working properly so that it is no longer an issue for anyone using the bathroom sink or tub. You can also check out their website online if you are still having trouble figuring something out on your own. It’s always better to get things right from the beginning than risk causing more damage later! That being said, this process should only take around 15 minutes at most- just enough time for a quick shower before work 🙂
