Description
ABS DWV Closet Flange (MIPT)
ABS DWV Closet Flanges provide a secure connection point between a toilet and the drain, waste, and vent system while anchoring the fixture at the finished floor.
Featuring a Male Iron Pipe Thread (MIPT) connection, this flange is designed to thread into a compatible female-threaded ABS DWV fitting or pipe connection. Its flange body provides the mounting surface needed for closet bolts and toilet installation while maintaining a dependable connection to the sanitary drainage system. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
MIPT Connection
The male-threaded connection is designed to thread into a compatible female-threaded ABS DWV fitting or pipe connection.
Closet Flange Body
The flange body provides the mounting interface for the toilet and accommodates the closet bolts used to secure the fixture at the floor.
Closet Flange Design
The closet flange serves as the transition between the toilet outlet and the sanitary drainage piping below the floor.
Its male-threaded connection provides a mechanical attachment to a compatible female-threaded ABS DWV component, while the flange surface supports proper positioning and fastening of the toilet.
A separate toilet sealing component, such as the appropriate wax ring or approved alternative seal, is typically installed between the toilet outlet and flange as part of the complete fixture installation.

Installation
Verify the required MIPT size and confirm compatibility with the intended female-threaded ABS DWV connection before installation.
Inspect the mating threads and make sure they are clean, undamaged, and properly aligned before threading the flange into position.
Install the flange at the proper finished-floor height and orientation so the closet bolt slots align correctly with the toilet base.
If thread sealant is required, use only a product confirmed compatible with ABS. Avoid incompatible compounds that could damage the fitting.
Install the appropriate toilet seal and closet bolts according to the toilet manufacturer's instructions and applicable plumbing codes.
Our piping specialists can help review your thread size, toilet connection, finished-floor setup, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV closet flange used for?
It is used to connect and secure a toilet or water closet to an ABS drain, waste, and vent system.
What does MIPT mean?
MIPT means Male Iron Pipe Thread. The flange is designed to thread into a compatible female-threaded pipe or fitting.
Does the closet flange hold the toilet in place?
Yes. The flange provides the mounting surface for closet bolts that help secure the toilet to the floor.
Does this flange provide the toilet-to-flange seal by itself?
No. The toilet installation normally requires a separate compatible sealing component, such as a wax ring or approved alternative seal.
Is this fitting intended for pressure systems?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure sanitary drain, waste, and vent applications.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information specifically states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings should not be used for pressure testing.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
What standards are referenced?
The supplied product information references ASTM D3965, ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the MIPT connection size, mating female-threaded component, toilet installation requirements, finished-floor configuration, and intended ABS DWV application.
