Hi all,
I'm a rather handy plumbing neophyte.
I'm getting started on a bathroom remodel. My initial focus has been on the shower stall. Tonight I removed the toilet to start planning for the non-shower tile.
The toilet is currently on OSB + CBU + tile. The new floor will be on the OSB + 1/2 ply + Ditra + a thicker tile. I don't have exact measurements yet, but the new height of the flange *may* be higher than the current one.
The drain is 3" ID PVC, a closet flange cemented to the outside of the drain. There is no underneath access without cutting out ceilings below (upstairs bathroom). I will have access once I remove the tile.
If I need to extend the drain higher, what are my options to research? I assume I need to keep the 3" ID drain, therefore an insert flange is not a good idea? When I have access to the floor, can I cut band extend the drain using a coupling?
Thank you,
Al
