You might consider brass screws to mount that flange into the lead ferrels Gary suggested. In fact, use a brass or aluminum flange on that concrete floor. Some of the pros on this board are of the opinion, plastic is not good to set on concrete. Are you sure the floor drain is a 6" pipe or is the diameter of the drain assembly itself 6"? Most of the time, the drain (pipe) will be a 2 or 3" inch pipe that is trapped. It will be connected to a floor drain assembly that could be 6 or more inches in diameter. : My new house has a rough in for a bathroom. I think I can do most everything, but can't figure out how I will anchor the toilet to the cement floor? : Also I have a sink drain, a toilet drain but why do I have a 6" drain in my basement? : Thanks, : PM
