I'm remodeling my bathroom and I had to cut out the old toilet flange as it was badly damaged. I tiled and am ready to install the new flange. When I insert the new 3" flange and push it flush with the new tiled floor, I see that it does not fully seat in the drainage pipel. The drainage pipe would allow about 2" of the flange to insert, but it is only inserting about 1.5 inches. I would assume this is fine, but I wanted to ask experts before I glued it in.

Thanks for you help!

prime and glue really well. also make sure you screw the flange to the floor and you will be fine..

I'm not sure of the type of flange you're using, but almost all of the ones I'm familiar with only seat 1 1/2". As Packy said , it will be fne.

...and push it flush with the new tiled floor...

just as a 'double check': the BACK of the flange should be on top of (flush) with the finished floor

the top of the flange SHOULD BE above the finished floor by the thickness of the flange

Thank you for double-checking. Yes, when I said pushing the flange flush, I meant pushing it into the pipe until it was on top of the new tile floor. I'm using a flange with the adjustable metal outside rim that I can slide around to get it positioned after gluing. I will have that metal "circle" on the tile floor.

This site is great. I wish I'd found it years ago. I really do appreciate you all taking the time to help me out. I have a 'wiggly tub spout', so don't be surprised if I post another one soon!

when you post about the 'wiggly' tub spout, attach a photo for best answers..

You can also use a compression flange to get that perfect fit.
The Culwell Flange comes in a compression model that would work for you.
