OATEY 43515 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 43515 closet flange fit 3 inch or 4 inch DWV pipe?
Both. The 43515 solvent welds inside 4 inch Schedule 40 DWV pipe, or over the outside of 3 inch Schedule 40 DWV pipe. That is one flange covering the two common toilet drain sizes, so if you open a floor and find 3 inch where you expected 4, you are still covered. It is a solvent weld connection, so it needs PVC cement and PVC pipe, not a rubber gasket fit.
2) Can you rotate the ring on the Oatey 43515 to line up the closet bolts?
Yes, the metal ring rotates. You can spin it so the two closet bolt slots square up with the wall and the six countersunk screw holes land on solid subfloor instead of over the pipe opening. The ring sits flush to the finished floor so the toilet base seats flat.
3) Can I use the Oatey 43515 on cast iron or ABS drain pipe?
No. This is a PVC flange with a solvent weld joint, so it bonds only to PVC Schedule 40 DWV pipe, 4 inch inside or 3 inch over. For cast iron you need a flange that clamps or caulks into the hub, and ABS needs an ABS flange with ABS cement. Substituting the wrong resin gives you a joint that will not hold.
4) What does the pull tab on the Oatey 43515 flange do?
The flange body has a knockout style test cap with a pull tab. You leave it closed to pressure test the DWV system, then pull the tab to open the drain before setting the toilet. No sawing or chiseling out a test plug at trim out, which is where a plumber usually risks cracking the hub.
5) Is the Oatey 43515 flange ring metal or plastic, and will it rust?
Metal, and it is powder coated for corrosion resistance. The flange body itself is PVC in white. A metal ring is what you want on a repair where the old plastic ring snapped under the closet bolts, since it takes the bolt load without flexing.
6) Will the closet bolts slip out of position when I set the toilet on this flange?
The 43515 ring has a bolt slot shelf built into it that holds the closet bolts upright while you drop the bowl. That is the detail that saves you from the bolt tipping over inside the slot on a solo install, which is the usual reason a toilet has to come back off the wax ring.
7) Do I need anything besides the Oatey 43515 to set a toilet?
The flange ships as flange plus powder coated metal ring. You still supply PVC primer and cement for the solvent weld, closet bolts, six floor screws for the countersunk holes (or two through the mounting slots), and a wax ring or gasket. None of those come with the flange.
8) How much does the Oatey 43515 closet flange weigh for stocking a service van or truck stock?
0.85 lb each, at about 0.067 cubic feet of volume. Light and small enough that a property maintenance crew or plumbing contractor can carry several on the truck as standard rough in and repair stock, since the single part covers both 3 inch and 4 inch drains.
9) What is the Oatey part number for this easy tap pull tab closet flange?
Oatey 43515. That is the manufacturer part number to quote, covering the PVC easy tap pull tab closet flange with the powder coated metal ring, 3 inch or 4 inch.
