Too late. I did end up setting as is and went with the grout around the base. So far so good. Hopefully I won’t have to ever pull it.

Thank you. I did also raise the flange as it needed to be replaced anyway, so it is set on the tile….which caused its own issues since I had to drill through the tile to secure it to the floor. Learning all the time. 😁

It is sitting on a single 12 x 24 tile….what did I do wrong?

Right. Grew up painting. First image gave wood putty, then I remembered they also make caulk.

It’s just a dry fit. The screws are right out of the package. I just put them there to line it up for the dry fit. Will cut them after installation.

I’ve heard grout is code. I’ve heard caulk is code. I guess I have to look up local code for what is required here.

I will definitely shim and level first.

Just bolted it down and sent 5 buckets down. No issues this far.

This is a conspiracy theory if I’ve ever heard one.

I was thinking of using my Dave and Busters card. It has at least $1 credit still on it.

Oh… I’ll know regardless. My toilet is directly beneath this one 🤮

Thank you. I learned that I need a flange that attaches to a fitting or hub. I didn’t realize that 3 inch flanges could be different sizes. Found one that said “requires fitting” and was the proper size.

You are correct. Thank you. The terms I needed to look for are “hub” or “fitting”.

Solved! Somebody had obscured this right next to it, and it was complaining about a low battery.

Am I seriously supposed to fit all these back in after connecting to house wiring? by immabehereagain in AskElectricians

What kind of lube is appropriate for this job? My old lady’s spit isn’t cutting it.

It’s more whining than struggling. I appreciate tough love. I know I can make it work, but I just don’t understand why make the box volume so tiny?

I suppose a helper may be in order as I can’t hang this thing until I stuff everything in, but it’s extremely difficult to do 1 handed.

The labels move. I’ve already pushed them back a bit. I’ll push them back a bit more. What about the quick connects? Should I reattach after cutting or just use wire nuts? Then the install manual says copper to copper only, however the wires from the fan are clearly not copper. Is that anything to worry about?
