I was afraid of that. It feels like two of the screws on this flange are attached with nuts underneath. And to get at those, I'd have to find out exactly where in the ceiling to do the surgery. (For that matter, this pipe may even be located over a wall, since it seems to go down a couple of feet before changing direction.) The only things I could find at my Home Depot: 1. An "installation" kit by Fluidmaster, which I think not only included the flange, but all hardware and the supply-line plumbing (flexible braided water line and shutoff). 2. A brass flange, with not even a set of instructions. It apparently would screw into the floor in place of the old one...? It's too bad that someone doesn't make a repair kit. I somehow picture a thin steel plate, with the same openings as the flange, that could sit on top of the original. (Actually, this could be attached to the plastic flange with a handful of small screws.) Then, likely, some kind of large washer to put under the head of the bolt, in order to spread the load out over more of the flange. Thanks, -= N =- |
