Hi guys,
Browsed this forum and other websites and although the Twist-N-Set flange is mentioned as an option for my situation, it does not seem to clearly state if the Twist-N-Set can be inserted inside the lead bend.
I am putting locking vinyl planks on top of my vinyl flooring and when I removed the toilet, I noticed the piping had a lead bend and that the flange is broken on the left side. I need to replace and raise the flange and because of the presence of the lead bend, Home Depot clerk sold me the Oatey Twist-N-Set flange.
Can I just insert that flange inside the pipe with the lead bend?
I had a lead bend in the basement too which I managed to remove with a lot of time and cursing so that's the last option I hope for. My house was built in 1987 and the piping is not cast iron, any reason why these lead bends were used?
Many thanks
