Toilet question

[Rotty20]

I have just finished leveling my bathroom floor, sewer line for toilet is sitting approx 1/2 under new floor. That's all okay except the fact that the flange was only sitting on top of the pipe, not down into it nor connected to it in anyway. Has me very sketchy now to put it all back together. Has anyone else seen a flange sit flat on top of the sewer line? Seems to be this would be q leaking point, am I missing something?
This seriously has my brain hurting lol.View attachment 88638View attachment 88639

You want a 4" x 2" 'instant-set' closet flange.

Most come with the holes infuriating too close to the nuts.
This Zurn model is one nice design.
Anchor to wood with non corrosive screws like ss, brass etc.

I looked at all areas around me and cannot find that part. I was given a danco sure fit, but im Leary of the layout of it.

When you take a picture of a toilet soil pipe entrance for posting, it is best to remove the smell-blocking stuff. Before pulling that, you want to vacuum up the loose stuff.

That blue cast iron outside compression flange would require the plywood to be cut to clear the flange. You would also want to measure the OD of that pipe, and you would want to measure how far down from the finished floor the top of that pipe will be.

It is also possible that a Sioux Chief 887-GPM could work if the ID and depth are right.

Thank you. ID measures 3 3 /4 "

Interesting... 3.75 is not a common ID. Are you measuring that a few inches down or up near the high area of the black?

If down a few inches, you could have the remnants an "inside" 4-inch-only closet flange, but most of those are made for either inside 4 inch pipe or outside 3 inch pipe. Those would be 3.5 inches ID.

Measured many many times lol, so after so much help and replies and suggestions, i finnaly found a fix i think.

The black part fits good, but doesn't go down as far as I thought it may, the white one does. Was thinking possibly using the black part with a lot of abs cement around it and also down there the tail of the pipe meets with the cast, not sure how well abs will adhere to this, but ill scuff and clean it well and try it out. If im not happy with that ill toss in the white one, only difference between the 2 Is $45 lol

I think those inside compression flanges are designed to go inside a 3 inch pipe. A 3 inch pipe is very close to an actual 3.00 inches ID.

Don't worry about using the white one. No gluing going on for this, so no worry mixing PVC and ABS. Do not glue one of these flanges.

Floor didn't come out to bad, and flange is flush

Usually you want the flange atop the finished floor, but maybe that is the finished floo0r, and you are going for that industrial bathroom floor look.

Did you glue, or is that a compression flange such as twist-n-set? https://www.oatey.com/products/oatey-twistnset-replacement-closet-flange-1098867162

Anyway, there are a lot of people with flanges below the finished floor. It will be OK.
