Hi everyone! This is my first post here, I hope I can get some valuable feedback and advice from all of you.
I am currently remodeling my washroom. I noticed that my toilet flange was broken and was causing my toilet to rock back and forth. I decided that I would replace the toilet flange while I had the ground opened up to install the shower drain.
My idea was to cut off the old flange, and use a ram bit tool to remove the old pipe from the fitting and put on a new 3 inch pipe and stainless steel rimmed flange. The problem arose while cutting off the flange, as the blade of my reciprocating saw accidentally nicked the edge corner of the fitting :'(
The ram bit worked perfectly and has given me a really nice and secure dry fit of the pipe. But I am wondering if having the fitting knicked will cause me problems. Can you guys please take a look at these pictures and let me know if I'm okay to still use this fitting? The pipe seats all the way in, and has atleast 1 inch of contact depth. Would it be okay to just slather this in ABS glue and connect to it?
Please let me know your opinions! I am really worried that I might have ruined my piping with this mistake. I would rather not break up more concrete and cut more of the pipe if I don't have to. Thank you for reading.
