Description
4" x 4"/4" x 3" PVC DWV Flush Closet Flange
4" x 4"/4" x 3" PVC DWV Flush Closet Flange provides a compact water-closet connection for compatible PVC drain, waste, and vent piping. The P815-040 flush configuration is designed to fit over 3" pipe or inside 4" pipe, providing two installation arrangements within one molded PVC closet flange.
The dual-fit design allows the flange to accommodate either a compatible 3" or 4" PVC drain arrangement at the fixture location. Selection should account for the existing pipe size, finished-floor position, fixture centerline, and available clearance around the closet-drain connection.

Flush Closet Flange Configuration
The flush configuration provides a compact fixture connection at the finished-floor drain location. Its molded PVC body establishes the water-closet interface without the adjustable metal ring used on other Spears closet-flange configurations.
The fixed flange design keeps the fixture connection straightforward while providing the required transition to the adjoining PVC drainage piping. This configuration is useful where a standard flush-style closet flange matches the planned fixture and drain arrangement.
Dual-Fit Pipe Connection
The P815-040 provides a dual-fit pipe connection that can install over compatible 3" PVC pipe or inside compatible 4" PVC pipe. This allows one flange design to serve two common closet-drain connection arrangements.
The intended installation method should be established from the actual drain piping before assembly. Identifying whether the flange will fit over 3" pipe or inside 4" pipe helps ensure the proper connection arrangement is used at the fixture location.
Published P815 Dimensions
The P815-040 has published dimensions of G = 7-1/32", L = 2-3/8", and N = 15/32". These measurements provide useful reference points when evaluating the flange against the floor opening, drain piping, and surrounding installation space.
Reviewing the published dimensions before installation can help identify clearance issues around the closet-drain location. This is especially useful during replacement work where finished flooring, framing, or nearby piping may limit the available space.
Finished-Floor Installation Planning
The closet flange establishes the fixture connection at the finished-floor level, so drain location and completed floor elevation should be coordinated before permanent installation. Proper positioning helps keep the water closet centered over the drainage opening.
Flooring thickness, fixture location, and pipe alignment should be reviewed together when establishing the final flange position. Coordinating these conditions helps maintain a stable fixture connection while keeping the PVC DWV piping properly aligned below the floor.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Identify the drain pipe size.
- Check the finished-floor elevation.
- Choose the correct pipe-fit method.
- Verify the fixture and drain centerlines.
- Measure clearance around the flange body.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your 3" or 4" drain piping, P815-040 connection arrangement, finished-floor position, fixture centerline, available clearance, adjoining PVC piping, and overall water-closet drainage layout before you order.
