Hi all,
We had rotted subfloor in our bathroom that has since been torn out and I'm ready to lay down the new plywood. The problem is getting the plywood under the lip (outer ring) of the toilet flange. Ideally I'd like to just saw it off and glue a new flange in after the floor is installed... however, our 1972 house was built with some kind of older PVC that is thinner and does not connect to today's thicker white schedule 40 PVC. Please see the attached images.
Is this schedule 30? Or old CPVC? Or something else? It was installed with orange primer.
If so, how can I connect a new toilet flange to a schedule 30 or CPVC drain pipe? Tearing out all the old plumbing and vent pipes is not an option, so I either need a way to connect to this older pipe or get the plywood subfloor and underlayment under the ring of the flange.
Thanks!
