Setting a toilet

The toilet should be level regardless of the floor. Plaster of Paris is often used to set it on. It dries quickly and is rock hard.

It's level. I'm wondering about the height of the floor flange.

If you mean should the flange sit on the finished flooring, yes. If the flange is just a bit lower than the finished floor you can use a thicker wax ring.

That's what I needed. Thanks

There is a new replacement for the wax ring on the market. It is a plastic sorta pipe withi a couple flexible (sorta) flanges that inserts down the floor flange fitting. glues to the toilet bottom but nothing else is needed. I just replaced my toilet using one. It is one major improvement over wax rings. Unfortunately, I do not recall the name of it. My neighbor gave me one so I didn't even need to shop for it.

I'm going to have to look for one of those - sounds a LOT easier to install than the wax ring. Thanks
