Replacing an old lead bend flange and neither Cast Iron nor PVC sit low enough. The floor will be raised about 1-1/2" for tiling but they both still too high. Even though PVC is about 1" lower, it is not up to code in this case. Any suggestions?

PVC 4 x 3 street closet bend with 4" hub closet flange. You can cut the pipe down to size.

Terry, if I stick with cast iron, how low can I cut something like this?

I'm curious to know too. I've got a cast iron flange that sits about an inch above the floor. It's currently sitting on a plywood platform.
The cast iron flange and bend connects to the cast iron vent pipe for a wet vent. I'd rather not have to pull all of that out, at least not just yet. Too many other reno's going on right now.

How far before the pipe is bending? I would think that would control how far down you could cut.
