Plastic may be sufficient, SS is stronger.

Stronger is better. Especially if you have some heavy customers.

Probably a $2 difference in cost.

No it usually has the customer starting to think that we are trying to inflate our bill all because the original installer installed junk plumbing.

The cost of installing that new toilet just got a little higher than the original estimate...

We usually have enough work to do with out the new construction plumbers making more for us...

I agree with the previos posts, I also use the ss closet collar. I also use the ss repair ring. It just makes for a better job.

This is another one of those things that us new construction guys, just can not make a service guy happy. If I put in the plastic ones it lasts past my warranty and gives all you service guys something to do in the future, so what do you want me to do?

You have my permission to use abs and pvc closet flanges with stainless steel rings...

Oh make sure that you use some nice long #12 brass or, stainless steel screws to fasten down that flange too...

Yea I knew I'd catch some on that...

I see it quite often a flange floating loose, the screws rusted away to nothing...
