Forgive me if this is a duplicate. It is my first post here. I hit post and it did not so I will try again. Have to replace at least one ABS toilet flange in concrete. I believe it is an inside 4" outside 3" that was used about 10 years ago to replace a 4" outside original from 1979. I have ordered Reed tools to remove the present flange. My plumber has been busy and evasive on how he wants to fix it so I am preparing to do it myself if he lacks the proper reamer (Reed TFR400). The big question is which brand flange do I replace it with - it sits on concrete and the tapcon screws don't seem to have much to bite in the concrete so I cannot rely just on the screws to hold a simple replacement ring. I believe that the ABS flanges ones with a stainless ring are the best solution, and that using another (inside 4" outside 3") replacement will be the easiest solution - I do not believe there is enough room to remove the original exterior 4" outside remains, which were left when the original 1979 flange was cut off. Of these three ABS w/ stainless brands available to me, which brand would you suggest I use? This problem is holding up other contractors so I must get it resolved one way or another.
