Hi there,
Long time reader just joining. I love antique plumbing. So hj is my hero.
My question concerns an old school installation with a lead bend. I already did one of these (brass ring, peen lead) and it turned out well.
But my second one poses a problem. I'll try to make this succinct:
The new brass flange does not line up with the holes in the very old and thin-ish concrete floor. I'd prefer not to drill new holes because possibility of cracks.
The Pasco red repair flange does meet the holes, but cannot join with lead.
Can I securely attach the brass flange to the Pasco flange, then screw Pasco to the floor? A flange on a flange?
If only someone made an old style brass flange with a larger outer diameter that could reach the holes in the floor.
Is my idea unwise?
Alternatives (except drilling in concrete)?
Thanks!
