Replacing what is probably the original toilet in the basement of my 1950s house.
Toilet removed, no problem, but now no idea what I'm looking at.
There is no closet flange... the 2 bolts were fastened directly into the concrete.
The cast iron pipe is about 6" outer diameter and around 4.75ish inside diameter.
It had this sort of plastic drain covering the pipe flush (6") then getting smaller down into the drain. The wax seal appeared to be adhered to this plastic drain, then the toilet tightened down onto the bolts in the concrete.
Pics attached of drain and plastic piece... what's my simplest option here? Do I have any simple options?
I'm not a plumber and I dont want a basement toilet bad enough to tear up the concrete and redo the drainage... it's just a basement toilet so I dont mind if it looks ugly.
