Hey, I have a 90 degree pipe for a toilet flange sticking out of the concre te about 1 1/2 inches. So I bought a PVC, cast iron replacement flange. the one with the compressi on ring around it. I then cut the pipe level with the floor, but since it was a 90 degree elbo w, it didn't go straight down,but curved. So then I bought a bunch, maybe 3 different flanges to see if any would go in. One of them went in but obvio us it wasn't tight to the outside of the pipe. Then I went and bought a 45 and 90 degree pipe to see which one would fit in the existing 4" pipe the b est. Neither did but cutting off the top 1 1/2 inch, it will fit in the pip e with about 3/16 inch space around it. The question then is: Would it be better to put silicone caulk in the space to hold the pipe in place or an epoxy? Then the flange can get PVC glued i n to it. I hope the question is clear. Thanks! D
