Hello everyone. Just joined this website but have learned a LOT from it in the past few years.
Am remodeling a friend's 1/2 bath that was built in the 1920s: the 1950s era toilet was sort of "smushed" on to a tall wax ring (below old finished floor) with closet bolts apparently under the original cut outs in the cast iron flange.
The flange and closet bend appear to be a single piece of pipe, bedded in concrete.
3 1/2 inch I.D, but the inside of the pipe is anything but smooth, cast iron "carbuncles, barnacles", whatever, visible on the "shallow side" of bend's I.D.
Soil stack is about 2 feet away and has embossed letters boasting that it's "weight is 8 pounds per foot". No leaks reported by owner.
Bought an Oatey universal toilet flange repair kit, that says it should be sealed to a CI flange with silicone caulk. also bought Oatey's spacer ring kit that lets you incrementally raise height off of their universal repair ring.
A photo is attached. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated. Thank You.
