OATEY 43584 3 in. ABS Spigot Fit Closet Flange with Plastic Ring

The 43584 is ABS. It is made to be solvent welded to ABS with ABS cement, not to PVC. ABS and PVC use different cements and are not interchangeable for a welded joint, so if the drain under your toilet is white PVC you need the PVC version of the flange rather than this one.

Spigot fit means the flange's shank is sized to drop into the socket of a fitting, so the flange sits inside the hub. The Oatey 43584 works that way, it goes into the hub end of a 3 inch ABS fitting. A hub fit flange is the opposite, its shank is a socket that receives a cut length of 3 inch pipe. Look at what is coming out of the floor before you order, a closet bend or fitting hub takes the spigot version, a plain pipe stub takes the hub version.

It does. The 43584 is built to sit flush with the floor, which is where a closet flange belongs, on top of the finished floor so the toilet horn seats correctly on the wax ring. If your tile or LVT goes in after rough-in, set the flange after the floor, not before, or the toilet will sit proud and rock.

There are 8 countersunk holes for floor screws and two slots for the closet bolts. Countersunk means the screw heads drop below the ring face so nothing interferes with the toilet base. The two bolt slots let you slide the bolts around the ring to square the toilet to the wall, which matters when the rough-in is a little off.

Plastic. The ring on the 43584 is plastic rather than stainless or galvanized steel. Plastic rings will not rust, which is why they get specified in bathrooms that see standing water or heavy wet cleaning. A metal ring is the tougher choice where closet bolts get torqued hard and the toilet gets pulled and reset often, such as in high-traffic public restrooms.

No test cap is included with the 43584. If you are rough-in testing the drain line before the toilet goes on, order the test cap separately. Closet bolts are likewise a separate item, the flange provides the slots but not the bolts.

Oatey 43584. That is the manufacturer part number to quote or reorder against, a Fast Set spigot fit toilet flange, 3 inch ABS, plastic ring. Useful for distributors and procurement standardizing a building on one flange, since the adjacent Oatey models differ by material, by ring type, and by whether they are spigot or hub fit.

The 43584 weighs 0.6 pounds each. Light enough that property managers and maintenance shops commonly buy them by the case and keep a few on the truck, since a cracked flange is one of the more common reasons a toilet starts rocking or leaking at the base.
