The ABS DWV closet flange features a spigot 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 I355310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Nibco 5851-2 closet flange fit 4 inch ABS pipe or 3 inch?
Both. The 5851-2 is a 4 x 3 inch closet flange, so the 4 inch flange body steps down to a 3 inch connection. That is the combination most toilet rough-ins use: a 4 inch flange at the floor over a 3 inch drain line below. It is Schedule 40 ABS DWV.
2) Can I glue an ABS closet flange to PVC drain pipe?
No. The 5851-2 is ABS and solvent welds to ABS only. ABS cement and PVC cement are different systems and an ABS-to-PVC solvent joint is not an approved connection in most jurisdictions. If the drain below the floor is PVC, use a PVC closet flange or a mechanical transition coupling. ABS DWV does connect to steel, copper, or cast iron through transition fittings.
3) Is the Nibco 5851-2 approved for commercial buildings or just residential?
Both. The 5851-2 is listed for commercial and residential plumbing, and it carries CSA B181.1, ASTM D2665, ASTM D3965, ASTM D2661 and D3311, UL Listed 94V-0, NSF/ANSI Standard 14, and NSF U.P. certification. That is the paperwork an institutional or MRO spec reviewer will want on a DWV submittal.
4) What temperature can an ABS DWV closet flange handle?
Service range is -40 F to 180 F. That covers normal waste and vent duty including hot water discharge from a nearby fixture. What it does not cover is pressure testing: do not test or use ABS DWV fittings with compressed air or other gases. Water test only.
5) Does the Nibco 5851-2 closet flange come with a closet ring, bolts, or floor screws?
The 5851-2 is the ABS flange itself, in black. Closet bolts, floor anchors, and the wax ring or gasket are separate. Order those with it so the job finishes in one trip.
6) Will ABS hold up to drain cleaners and sewage in a rental property?
ABS resists everything from sewage to common household chemical cleaners, which is why it is a standard drain material in multi-family and rental work. It is also light enough to handle and cut on site without special tools, so a maintenance tech can swap a broken flange without a crew.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the Nibco 4 x 3 ABS closet flange?
Nibco 5851-2, MPN I355310, in the 4 x 3 inch size. Quote it by the 5851-2 designation when matching an existing spec, since Nibco's ABS DWV closet flanges run several body and connection styles under adjacent numbers and the spigot version is what this one is.
