Hi everyone
I have a toilet flange that needs to be replaced it is cast iron and the house is on a slab. From what I have been reading on this site that is BAD news. It looks to be made into the drain pipe. Isnt there any fix for this????

Thanks

It will have a rubber seal that when you twist it it expands to the inner dimension of the cast iron pipe turned up.

Thanks for the info. Will it slide inside the existing pipe thus covering up the old flange???or will I need to remove the old flange??? Im assuming that you talking about sku #6544282

Remove the old flange. The finished height off the floor should only be 3/8" of an inch, the thickness of the flange itself.
