    ABS closet flange issue

    I just tried new one and it wont work either. Looks like Im back to plan B, inserting spigot flange inside 3” pipe.

    ABS closet flange issue

    Thats an interesting idea. I think in my case the hub is too close to floor. But I already glued in a 2.5” stub into the hub. It has roughly 1.25” sticking out. I am thinking I can get a flange to fit over approximately 3/4”. Do you happen to know if 3/4” is generally enough for ABS to seal?

    ABS closet flange issue

    ABS closet flange issue

    I had a leaky toilet in bathroom I gutted to remodel. Cut old broken ABS flange off 90 degree hub that it was directly connected to. Drain pipe is 3”. The flange was not on top of the finished tile like it should be. After cutting, the hub now sits 3/8 below subfloor. But since it was welded...
