The PVC flange mounted inside a 4” waste pipe inside a concrete foundation was cracked. I watched every video I could and nervously but successfully removed the old flange. I intended to replace it with a Sioux Chief PVC flange/stainless ring but on cementing and inserting it the flange sat about ½ inch high on one side and I couldn’t get it level. I quickly removed it before the cement set. Not knowing what to do, I inserted a Sioux Chief push tight gasketed flange in to the top of the tile floor and using tapcons set it tight. On setting a new Toto Drake with wax ring, I believe the outlet horn is lightly riding on the flange. I placed a few shims near the back on each side and the toilet is steady and works as it should, but I am still nervous about it touching the flange. A co-worker suggested I get rid of the Push Tight flange and just screw a Sioux Chief stainless “Ringer” to the floor, set a wax ring, and discharge directly into the waste pipe. Any thoughts or suggestions from the experts?
