CLEVELAND, OHIO — Edgar Arcos, founder and owner of Arcos Mechanical & Drain Cleaning, has over seven years of hands-on experience in the plumbing trade. For the past two years, he has managed the rapid growth of his business, completing a diverse range of commercial, residential, and full-service plumbing projects.
Since starting his career, Arcos has trusted Oatey products for their consistent quality and reliable performance. One of the standout items in his toolbox is the Oatey® Offset Closet Flange, which he now regularly uses for complex toilet installations in remodeling and new-construction applications.
The Oatey® Offset Closet Flange is uniquely designed to provide a 2-inch offset in tight bathroom layouts where standard flange placements won’t work. Arcos finds the flanges a go-to solution thanks to their ease of use when dealing with pre-existing floor joists, foundation constraints, or irregular toilet rough-ins.
“This flange has helped me many times, especially in older homes where toilet placement can be off, or floor joists get in the way,” Arcos explains. “With the offset flange, I can reposition the toilet without tearing up the entire floor.”
Crafted from durable PVC with a full-swivel metal ring for easy alignment, the flange is built to last and adapts to on-site challenges. Its off-the-shelf convenience and ease of installation mean Arcos doesn’t waste valuable time on site or need to custom-fabricate solutions.
“I like that I can rely on it,” he says. “I’ve used it often for job sites and on my own properties.”
In a recent new-build project, Arcos was called in after tile work was completed and a toilet began to leak. Using the Oatey® Offset Closet Flange, he could slightly elevate the flange and maneuver around a beam while avoiding structural cuts and achieving a perfect, secure fit.
“It’s situations like these where this flange shines,” he says. “It’s one of those tools that, once you use it and see how much time and hassle it saves, you won’t want to go without it.”
For Arcos and his team, Oatey’s Offset Closet Flange is a practical, time-saving solution that simplifies tough jobs and helps him deliver professional results with total confidence.
