Elbow of my 3" ABS rough-in is too close to surface of slab, and even too close to surface of finished floor (ceramic tile over schluter ditra, over electric floor heating grid), to allow outside fit closet flange to seat properly. 3" inside fit closet flange is available locally, but I've seen them panned & not recommended on forums here & elsewhere. Problem is the only other option I see at this point is hammering out my floor to re-set my ABS with a lower drain angle to get elbow to sit low enough (not sure till I get the floor open if that would leave my drain slope too shallow & cause problems there anyway)
Is my situation the reason these second-best options exist?
Any ideas other than inside-fit flange or hammering out the whole floor? I wondered about trimming the bell on my outside fit flange, but it looks like I'd have to take off an inch or more, and I don't know how short an abs joint can get before you run into problems.
