When putting in the new subfloor we left the old cast iron pipe/bell/flange in place (Cutting holes in the floor to work around the pipe). After cutting this out due to holes in the old pipe, the opening left is about 6 1/4 inches. I'm having a hard time finding a flange that will be able to span this are in order to grab something once I put my tile down. I know that I need to put the flange on the finished floor. My questions are:
1. Am I okay if I can find a flange extension to add another inch or so, in order to fasten to subfloor? - suggestions welcome
2. would it be a good idea to attach another piece of plywood on the underside subfloor from the basement and then holesaw through that the proper size for my flange to attach to?
Thanks,
Matt
