Nailed sewer flange

[Chris Bernhardt]

Is it OK to nail sewer flanges to the subfloor? I thought I have always seen them screwed down. I don't like the idea of nailing. I would imagine flange would be prone to loosening.

Section 405 of the IPC:

405.4.1 Floor flanges.

...blah...Closet screws and bolts shall be of brass. Flanges shall be secured to the building structure with corrosion-resistant screws or bolts.
