Oatey Company 43505 Pvc Closet Flange 3 4 Inch Test Cap

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 43505 is a dual-fit PVC closet flange designed for use with 3-inch or 4-inch Schedule 40 DWV pipe. It solvent welds inside a 4-inch pipe or over a 3-inch pipe, giving installers flexibility on the rough-in. The flange ships with a removable test cap that breaks out in one piece by tapping with a hammer, allowing the DWV line to be pressure tested before the toilet is set. Built-in catch teeth prevent the test cap from dropping into the drain line during removal. Four mounting slots accommodate closet bolts, and four countersunk holes provide secure attachment to the subfloor.

This flange is suited for residential and light commercial toilet installations where Schedule 40 DWV piping is used. It is a common choice on new construction and remodel jobs where the rough-in drain line may be either 3-inch or 4-inch, reducing the need to stock two separate flanges. Licensed plumbers and journeyman pipefitters install this fitting as part of the toilet rough-in assembly prior to flooring installation.
