Chris Bernhardt Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it OK to nail sewer flanges to the subfloor? I thought I have always seen them screwed down. I don't like the idea of nailing. I would imagine flange would be prone to loosening. Chris, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
