OATEY 43503 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 43503 closet flange work on 3 inch or 4 inch PVC drain pipe?
Both. The Oatey 43503 is a dual-fit PVC toilet flange: it slips over the outside of 3 inch PVC pipe, or inside the hub of 4 inch PVC pipe. That is one part to stock for either rough-in, which is why it is a common truck-stock item for plumbers working on unknown existing drains.
2) Does the Oatey 43503 toilet flange come with a test cap?
No. The 43503 is the version without a test cap, so if you need to pressure-test or seal the line during rough-in you will need a separate test cap or Oatey's test-cap version of the flange. Everything else for setting the flange is there, including the molded plastic ring with four screw holes.
3) Can this PVC closet flange be used on a below-grade or basement bathroom drain?
The 43503 flange is rated to hold head pressure up to 30 feet, so it will stand up to the static head you see in a stacked or below-grade installation. It is UPC listed and meets ASTM D2665, the standard for PVC DWV pipe and fittings, which is typically what an inspector is looking for on a DWV rough-in.
4) Does the flange sit flush with the finished floor or on top of it?
Flush. The 43503 is Oatey's Level Fit design, so the flange body sets level with the floor surface rather than standing proud of it. That matters when you are setting a toilet over tile or vinyl with a standard wax ring, since a flange sitting high or low is the usual cause of a rocking bowl or a failed seal.
5) Will the closet bolts fall through the slots on this Oatey flange while I am setting the toilet?
No. The plastic molded ring uses Oatey's patented bolt slot shelf, which holds the closet bolt head captive in the slot instead of letting it drop into the drain. If you have ever fished a bolt out of a flange with the bowl half-set, that is the feature you are paying for here.
6) Is the ring on the Oatey 43503 metal or plastic, and will it hold up in a wet commercial restroom?
It is a molded plastic ring, not steel, so there is nothing to rust in a mop-down or high-humidity restroom. That is the trade-off many property managers make deliberately: a stainless or metal ring gives more mechanical strength at the bolt, while the plastic ring will not corrode and stain the floor over time. The whole flange is PVC and weighs about 0.696 pounds.
7) How do I get the toilet bolt slots lined up square to the wall with this flange?
The 43503 has patented alignment indicators molded into the ring, giving you a visual reference as you set the flange so the bolt slots end up square to the wall. Useful on a solvent-weld install, where you get one shot at rotation before the cement grabs.
8) How many screws hold this toilet flange to the floor, and does it work with any toilet?
Four screw holes are provided in the ring, positioned to cover standard toilet installation patterns while giving secure attachment to the subfloor. Floor screws are a separate buy, and you should match them to what you are fastening into, wood subfloor versus concrete anchors.
