New member here and my first post.
I am currently redoing a half bath in our 1910 home and returning it to that period. We bought a vintage low tank toilet.
I pulled the old one out and the floor had been patched and there was a pvc push in flange there. My new old toilet would cover the patch and the flange was too high. So I removed the flange.
The question I have is what needs to be done? The flange on the bottom of the toilet sets about a inch lower than the rest. It fits inside the 4" pipe.
The pipe is 4" and the top inch or so is lead and flush to the finished floor.
Would the pipe have had a flange? Would the wax ring set right on the wood floor?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Matt
Here's a few pics.
After I fix the flange I'll replace the floor around it.
