I'm putting in a new flange for my toilet. PVC with metal ring. On the PVC end
there is a red rubber gasket. The PVC is slightly larger then my pipe in the
floor.
The original pipe in the floor looks to be a old cast iron elbow that they just put the wax gasket on and then bolted the toilet to some rigged up bolts.
The top of the old cast iron pipe seams to have some kind of lead metal on it.
Maybe a old seal? I don't see any threads, so I was thinking they filled them
in and that's why I'm having trouble fitting the new flange.
Can I just grind away some metal and fit the new flange? Also will I have
any leaking issues?
thnks
