In response to Re: toilet flange
: I recently repaired the floor in my bathroom and am trying to replace the toilet flange. My problem is the 4" cast iron pipe does not protrude high enough to get a good seal on the closet flange that has the adjustable rubber gasket. The CI pipe has jagged edges, it has been cut unevenly. : My question is do you recommend the "Twist and Set" kits? I noticed they reduce the size of the waste port to less than 3". This may be my only alternative. Reply: As long as the toilet drain is 4", you can use an insert type closet flange to bring the flange to the finished floor height without having to worry about a clogging issue, if it were 3" pipe, that would be decreasing it way too small. If at all possible, try to locate a cast iron closet insert flange instead of PVC. Charlotte probably sells one. e-plumber
