Eliminate Toilet

[go_hercules]

I have a toilet in a storeroom off the garage that I don't use and want to eliminate. It is on a concrete slab. The question is what to do with the drain after I get rid of it. Obviously have to trap the sewer gases. Is there something made that replaces the flange and caps it off?

Of course you will have to determine the size

That would probably work. But could you think of anything a little more flush, and finished looking? Thanks.

Flush... ha.

Speaking of flush. Break up the concrete, cut the pipe, cap it off properly, patch concrete flush with remaining concrete floor.

Or put a box over it. Outa sight, Outa mind.

Yeah, I missed the flush reference !!!!!! That would work but is a little too extreme since I might want to use it again at some point. Right now would just rather have storage space. Was thinking maybe they made some sort of cap that would do what the plug does but just a little more finished looking. Maybe there is no such beast, figured I would ask in case.

Take a pic, could be cast, plastic, copper. There are flush fit cleanouts

Can't take a picture, the toilet is still in place until I decide what to do. What is a flush fit cleanout?

Any thoughts on it?

cut the flange off and turn it into a floor cleanout.

That cap would work fine. Mostly you're keeping sewer gasses out which could be accomplished with a rag.. but you have to plan for worst case scenario of a sewer back up so it must be water tight as well. As long as the bolts can hold the gasket down all the way around it should be fine. I can't tell from the pics on that site how it works tho.. it appears to have tabs that lock it into the Closet bolt channel but not really sure then what the screws are supposed to screw into..
