[Let me know if this should be moved to the toilet section of the forum.]
I've read several posts about closet flange repairs but I need some help with these two situations.
Situation 1) The metal ring around this 4" ABS (or black PVC) flange has decayed (not shown in picture). I want to use a stainless steel ring but I'm not sure how to get this one by Sioux Chief at Home Depot around the lip of the flange. The one they sell that's made in two pieces to fit around lip is not stainless steel.
Here are some photos.
Situation 2) In this case, it looks like the floor installers added an extension flange into the existing 4" ABS (or black PVC) flange. I assume it's glued in place. The problem is they didn't secure the metal ring to anything. The pictures here are what I found when I removed the existing toilet. The flange is a little higher than the floor, the ring is not secured and it's bit bent. Any recommendations on what to do here? Take a look at these pictures.
For the flange in situation 2, I'm installing a new Toto toilet with a unifit trap. In the case of the unifit, can I use it as is? It fits over the raised flange.
