Hello,
I pulled old BLUE toilet, must be original, from house built in mid 60's. The flange looks like it is part of drain line unless not seeing fasteners? The line and flange look like cast Iron? Did they weld flange and line together in those days? Anyway the flange where it meets line seems corroded, not sure how deep corrosion is yet. I guess only way, short of removing and replacing entire line (which would be MAJOR project) would be to use a saw and cut line with existing flange off and hope there would be some meat left on cast iron line to accommodate a new flange. Does this sound correct fix/situation? Is this common with houses built during 60's. Thanks for any input,
ednorton
