Hi all.......New member.....1st post......so, here goes!
I am in the middle of remodeling my bathroom......had stripped all of the old tile, removed old toilet, and have a new Toto toilet to install......My question/problem: The original (25 year old?) toilet Flange was rusted beyond repair, and so I just snipped it off with tin snips.....Now, trying to fit a new flange over the old plumbing elbow that holds the flange? Not going smoothly......am I missing something? Went to local HD, and they sent me out with some new one piece flange with molded 3 inch diameter insert, to place into the existing flange plumbing? Doesn't look right to me......I just need to get a new flange put onto some old PVC, and then sit toilet up?
Any help/advice much appreciated! Very 'novice' at this!
