Just have to add to Barnabas's comment. I was heading out the door Sunday morning when i made my short Moen Flo post. I was going to come back and add to it but life got in the way. Barnabas post has covered the unit better than I ever could have. We have installed the Moen Flo for multiple...

I have done the 2" just under the surface i use a 2" poly test cap on pipe the wrap with sill foam gasket to leave room for cplg. to glue on later. Toilet flange could be set flush with concrete slab but should be on top with anchors drilled in and one wax seal. with flange set flush you will...

I agree with everything Larry has recommended here only thing I would do different is not extend the 4" above slab level. I would stop 1/2" below top off slab put a 4" poly test cap on. this way the cement finishers can trowel right over toilet location with the result being a flatter floor...

Just ventured out to the cabin today first trip in since Christmas. Last part of the drive that would usually take 1/2 hour. Had to chain up the F350 with a half yard bag of Navi-Jack in the box. Took three hours to get the last 4 kilometers to the cabin more to do with the amount of trees down...
