The ABS DWV offset adjustable closet flange features a plastic coated steel flange and a hub connection. The closet flange is secured to the floor of the dwelling so that a toilet can be affixed to it and allow for a pipe connection (under the floor) to continue the piping for evacuation of the used water. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) is resistant to a wide variety of materials ranging from sewage to commercial household chemical formulations and can be exposed to a wide temperature span. ABS is lightweight, safe to handle and easy to install. ABS DWV is joined by solvent cementing or threading and can easily be connected to steel, copper, or cast iron through the use of transition fittings. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco I325250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Nibco 5848-A offset closet flange connect to?
The 5848-A is a 4 inch by 3 inch offset closet flange, so the toilet side takes a 4 inch opening and the hub drops onto 3 inch ABS DWV pipe. The connection is a solvent weld hub, meaning the pipe slips inside the socket and is cemented, not threaded or gasketed.
2) When do I use an offset closet flange instead of a straight one?
Use the offset version when the toilet outlet does not sit directly over the existing 3 inch drain stub, which is common in remodels where the closet bend was roughed in for a different fixture or the wall was moved. The 5848-A is also adjustable, so the bolt slots rotate to line up with the toilet after the hub is cemented. If your drain already lines up under the bowl, a straight flange is the simpler part.
3) Can I glue this Nibco ABS closet flange to PVC drain pipe?
No. The 5848-A body is ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), and ABS is solvent cemented to ABS. Running it into PVC, steel, copper or cast iron requires a transition fitting rather than a direct cemented joint. If the stack under your floor is white PVC, order a PVC flange instead.
4) Does this closet flange meet code for a commercial restroom?
The 5848-A carries NSF/ANSI Standard 14, is NSF U.P. Certified, and is UL Listed 94V-0. It is made to ASTM D2661, D2665 and D3965, and Nibco lists it for both commercial and residential plumbing systems. That is the documentation most inspectors want on a DWV fitting.
5) Is the flange ring on the Nibco 5848-A metal or plastic?
Metal. The ring is plastic coated steel on an ABS hub, which is the choice most plumbers make for repeat-use or commercial restrooms where an all-plastic ring can crack under closet bolt torque. The coating is there to keep the steel off wet subfloor.
6) Will a Nibco ABS closet flange handle hot water discharge from a commercial kitchen or laundry line?
Service temperature range is -40 F to 180 F, which covers normal sanitary drainage including wastewater from dishwashers and laundry. ABS also resists everything from sewage to household chemical cleaners. One hard limit: never pressure test or use it with compressed air or other gases.
7) Is this a Schedule 40 fitting?
Yes, the 5848-A is Schedule 40 for DWV drain, waste and vent service. It mates with standard Schedule 40 ABS DWV pipe of the matching size and is not intended for pressure piping.
8) What is the Nibco part number for the 4x3 offset closet flange?
The 4 inch by 3 inch 5848-A offset adjustable closet flange is Nibco item I325250. It is black ABS with the plastic coated steel ring.
