toilet flange for cast iron in cement floor

Posted by Don Wheatley on November 14, 19100 at 12:39:00:
My basement is roughed in for a toilet, with cast iron pipe. I have a nice clean hole in the concrete that is about 5/8" wider than the cast iron pipe all the way around the opening. I will be installing laminate flooring, approx 1/4 inch thick. I have two questions. 1) Can i moount the flange right on the concrete, and run the floor up to it? this will result in top of the flange being flush with the floor or maybe a hair higher than the floor. 2) The space (air space) between the casst iron pipe and the edge of the concrete will not really allow me to fasten the flange to the cement floor. How can I remedy this problem? How can I attach the flange to the flooor> Thanks for any ideas or advice
