Description
4" x 3" PVC DWV Offset Closet Flange w/ Adj Metal Ring
4" x 3" PVC DWV Offset Closet Flange w/ Adjustable Metal Ring provides an offset water-closet connection for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping. The offset body helps accommodate a fixture drain location that does not align directly with the intended water-closet centerline, while the adjustable metal ring provides flexibility for final fixture mounting orientation.
The 4" x 3" configuration combines a PVC DWV closet-flange body with an adjustable metal ring for installations requiring both drain-position correction and fixture alignment. Selection should account for the existing drain location, required offset direction, finished-floor elevation, fixture centerline, and available clearance around the flange body.

Offset Closet Flange Configuration
The offset flange configuration is intended for installations where the existing drain centerline and required water-closet position are not directly aligned. The shaped PVC body redirects the fixture connection so the closet can be positioned differently from the drain opening below.
This configuration can be useful during replacement, remodeling, or other installations where relocating the underlying drain piping is difficult. The actual drain position should be measured before selecting an offset flange so the fitting can be oriented toward the required fixture location.
Adjustable Metal Ring
The adjustable metal ring provides additional flexibility when establishing the final water-closet mounting orientation. The ring can be positioned around the PVC flange body so the fixture mounting locations can be aligned after the offset direction has been established.
This allows the drain correction and fixture mounting orientation to be addressed separately during layout. The PVC body can first be positioned for the required offset, followed by adjustment of the metal ring to suit the final water-closet mounting position.
4" x 3" Drain Configuration
The 4" x 3" configuration should be matched to the compatible PVC DWV piping used at the closet-drain location. Confirming both nominal sizes before installation helps ensure the flange corresponds with the existing or planned drainage arrangement.
The surrounding pipe size should be checked directly rather than selecting the flange from fixture dimensions alone. Proper sizing is especially important during retrofit work where existing drain piping may differ from the configuration expected at the finished-floor opening.
Fixture & Floor Positioning
The flange position should be coordinated with the finished floor, drain centerline, and water-closet location. Because the body is offset, its directional orientation affects where the fixture connection will ultimately sit relative to the underlying drain piping.
Review nearby framing, flooring, and piping before permanent assembly so the offset body has adequate room in the required direction. Once the body is positioned, the adjustable metal ring can be aligned for the final fixture mounting arrangement.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 4" x 3" size.
- Check the finished-floor elevation.
- Verify the fixture and drain centerlines.
- Determine the required offset direction.
- Measure clearance around the offset body.

Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your 4" x 3" drain arrangement, required offset direction, adjustable metal ring, finished-floor position, fixture centerline, available clearance, and surrounding PVC DWV layout before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this PVC DWV offset closet flange?
This closet flange is identified as a 4" x 3" PVC DWV configuration.
What makes this an offset closet flange?
The flange body shifts the fixture connection away from the drain centerline, allowing the water-closet location to be adjusted relative to the underlying drain.
What type of ring does this flange use?
This configuration includes an adjustable metal ring for establishing the final fixture mounting orientation.
Why is an adjustable ring useful?
The adjustable ring allows the fixture mounting position to be aligned after the offset flange body has been oriented with the drain.
Does the offset direction matter?
Yes. The flange body must be oriented so the offset moves the fixture connection toward the required water-closet centerline.
Should the finished floor be considered during layout?
Yes. The finished-floor elevation and fixture location should be considered when establishing the final closet-flange position.
What should be checked around the offset body?
Check the available space around the drain for flooring, framing, nearby piping, and other conditions that could interfere with the offset flange body.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the 4" x 3" size, required offset direction, adjustable-ring configuration, drain location, finished-floor position, and available installation clearance.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Dry-position the offset body before joining.
- Rotate the metal ring for fixture alignment.
- Secure the flange before setting the fixture.
- Measure the drain location before installation.
- Keep adjoining PVC piping properly supported.
