I'm remodeling my bathroom (completely gutted) and am getting ready to tile. The toilet drain elbow was replaced, and my plumber purchased a fit inside flange. He left with my a piece of pipe to cut once the floor is installed to set the flange. After reading on here about how the fit inside flange is to be avoided, I purchased the flange you see below.
The first couple of pics are of the floor before laying the hardibacker for reference. The flange is going to be too tall, the bottom of it is going to rest on top of the elbow even after the floor has been tiled. Basically the elbow is close to the subfloor. Would it be fine to just cut the flange about halfway (as seen in the pic) then fit the PVC pipe inside it, then trim the PVC pipe so that it fits into the elbow and the flange rests on top of the finished floor?
Is there another way I should be doing this?
Thanks in advance for any advice you all can provide!
