OATEY 43553 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Oatey 43553 Easy Tap closet flange fit 3 inch or 4 inch pipe?
Both. The 43553 Easy Tap closet flange is the 3 in. or 4 in. PVC body, so it drops onto 3 inch PVC over the pipe or into a 4 inch hub. One part covers the two sizes you find under a toilet, which is why it is the flange to keep on the truck when you do not know what is under the closet bend until the toilet is off the floor.
2) How many closet bolt holes does the Oatey 43553 flange have, and will it work with an offset or unusual toilet?
Six screw holes, laid out to cover any toilet installation type and to give a solid anchor into the floor. That matters when the old flange left the subfloor chewed up around one or two of the holes, or when the bowl footprint does not line up with a four-hole pattern. There is also a patented bolt slot shelf so a closet bolt cannot drop through the slot while you are setting the bowl.
3) Is the Oatey 43553 closet flange approved for use on a permitted job?
It carries UPC listing and meets ASTM D2665, the standard for PVC DWV pipe and fittings. That is the pairing an inspector looks for on a plumbing rough-in, so the 43553 goes in on permitted residential and commercial work without a substitution request.
4) Will an Oatey Easy Tap flange with a stainless steel ring hold up better than a plain PVC ring on a toilet that gets heavy use?
The stainless steel ring is the reason to pick the 43553 for commercial and multi-family work. The closet bolts pull against steel instead of plastic, so the ring resists the deformation and cracking you see on all-plastic flanges in restrooms that get rocked toilets and repeat service calls. The PVC body still solvent welds to PVC DWV pipe as normal.
5) What is the test cap on the Easy Tap flange for, and do I have to worry about knocking it into the drain?
The cap lets you pressure or water test the DWV system with the flange already set, then knock it out when you set the toilet. Oatey builds this one to minimize knockout fall through and it does not shatter down the drain pipe, so you are not fishing plastic fragments out of a closet bend after the test. That is the whole point of the Easy Tap name.
6) How do I know the Oatey 43553 flange is set square to the wall before I glue it?
It has patented alignment indicators molded in, giving you a visual reference when you set the flange so the closet bolt slots end up parallel to the finished wall. Get that wrong on a solvent welded PVC flange and the fix is cutting it out, so the indicators are worth using rather than eyeballing off the rough opening.
7) What do I still need to buy to install an Oatey 43553 toilet flange?
Plan on closet bolts, a wax ring or waxless seal, floor fasteners suited to your subfloor, and PVC primer and solvent cement to weld the flange to the DWV pipe. The 43553 is the flange body with its stainless ring and test cap; the bolts and the seal are separate line items on the order.
8) Can I standardize on one Oatey flange across a building with mixed 3 inch and 4 inch closet bends?
Yes, and that is the practical argument for the 43553 in a facility or a portfolio of units. One SKU serves both 3 inch and 4 inch PVC, with six mounting holes that cover the toilet models you are likely to have, so stocking it means one flange on the shelf instead of two and no wrong-size trip back to the supply house.
9) What Oatey part number do I order for the 3 or 4 inch Easy Tap flange with the stainless ring?
Oatey 43553. That is the manufacturer part number for the Easy Tap closet flange in PVC with the stainless steel ring covering 3 in. and 4 in.
10) How much does the Oatey 43553 closet flange weigh for a parts order?
0.8 pounds each. Light enough that a case of them ships without freight consideration, which matters when a property manager is ordering a dozen for a unit turn program.
