OATEY 43555 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) My toilet is wobbly because the closet flange screws pulled out of the subfloor - will the Oatey 43555 kit fix that without tearing up the floor?
That is exactly the repair it is built for. The Oatey 43555 galvanized wood support kit addresses holes cut too large, rotted floor around the flange, and screws that pulled loose, so you can re-anchor a wobbly toilet or a loose closet flange without replacing the floor. Two heavy gauge pre-slotted plates bridge the bad wood and give the flange fresh bearing and fresh screw purchase.
2) What comes in the Oatey 43555 support kit - do I need to buy screws separately?
Screws are included. The kit ships with two heavy gauge pre-slotted flange plates, six floor attaching screws, and four large flathead flange assembly screws. You supply the closet bolts, wax ring or gasket, and the flange itself if that also needs replacing.
3) Is the Oatey 43555 flange support kit metal, and will it hold up in a damp bathroom subfloor?
The plates and hardware are metal with a galvanized finish, which is why it is specified for repairs in rotting or moisture-damaged floor areas around a closet flange. Galvanizing is the corrosion coating on the steel, not a structural rating.
4) Should I use a flange support kit like the Oatey 43555 or just replace the closet flange?
They solve different problems. A repair ring or new flange fixes a cracked or broken flange while the wood underneath is still sound. The 43555 support kit fixes the wood: the hole cut too large, soft or rotted decking, or screw holes that will no longer hold. If the flange body is fine and the floor is the failure, this kit is the smaller job. If both are bad, use a new flange set on top of these support plates.
5) Do the plates in the Oatey 43555 kit need to be cut or drilled to line up with my flange bolts?
No cutting or drilling. Both flange plates come pre-slotted, so the slots take the flange assembly screws and let you shift position to land on solid wood instead of the chewed-out holes. Hand tools are enough for the install.
6) For a property manager stocking repair parts, is the Oatey 43555 a one-toilet kit or does it do multiple?
One kit covers one closet flange repair: two plates, six floor screws, four flange screws. If you are running turnover work across a building with a run of loose toilets, order one kit per opening. The whole kit weighs about 1 lb, so it stocks easily on a truck.
7) What is the Oatey part number for the galvanized wood closet flange support kit?
Oatey 43555. That is both the model and the manufacturer part number for the galvanized wood support kit used to re-secure toilet flanges to damaged subfloor.
