my existing flange is level or 1/8 below my finished floor.
I have a Oatey 1/4 extender that I am considering to install, or may just go with a thick wax ring.
the extender has a bit of a cone rim that fits into the existing flange and is very snug and flexes some when pushed down into the existing flange. it doesn't fit flush if you just place it on.
is this normal? the 1/2 extender doesn't have this rim.
I was planning securing the toilet bolts using the existing flange and securing the extender to existing flange with some 1" bolts and silicone. I know securing to the slab would be preferred, but I tried drilling into the slab and the hole is too close to the opening for the drain and it breaks away.
should I proceed with the extender or go thick wax?
If I recall correctly the original flange fits into the drain pipe while my toilets on my second floor have flanges that fit over the drain pipe. not sure if this has something to do with it being in a slab or over subfloor..
thanks
