Essex flange nut size

[DEMPSEY1965]

Hi

Is there anyone who could tell me the exact size of nut holding in the essex flange. I have tried to measure and it's around 24mm or 1/34 inches. Just need the exact size so I can buy new.

Regards

why not just buy a whole essex flange?

why do you want to change it? is it leaking? probably just the washer needs changing.

Yes it is leaking, I disturbed while changing the shower pump, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would thank you all for the help.

I have just finished the job and fingers crosses evertthing is ok. I did get acouple of drips but just tightened the nut a little. Still a bit nervous thoughand keep checking for leaks,just don't want to overtighten the nut. The old onewas a pig to get off but a carefully cut the insulation and then cut throughthe nut from both sides and eventually it came loose. Your help with fittingand not dropping inside was most helpful too. I didn't put any jointingcompound between the rubber washers and the tank,don't know if that is correctbut there were no instructions with the new flange. Just going to check onceagain and thanks for all your help.

Regards
