I need a closet flange with 1 to 2 inch offset to fit inside a 3 inch abs pipe. Is such a product available?
As reference, the 3"x3"PVC Two Finger Toilet Flange, Jones Stephens Corp part# C47-33P fits, but I need the offset.
Thank you.

Yes they do make an offset flange they carry them at home depot in my area. Here's a pic and a link( hopefully) I think this is what your looking for if I missed anything post back. GOOD LUCK, AC

Thank you for reply. The flange you show is for outside of 3 inch pipe. I need to fit inside 3 inch pipe or do major surgery. The straight flange I mentioned originally 3"x3" does fit inside properly. I believe I have exhausted HD and Lowe's stock.
Thanks again.

Papafarkas if Lowe's and home depot are out perhaps a local plumbing supplier can help. GOOD LUCK, AC

I am confues by your desire to put the flange inside of a 3" abs drain. This is not how the flange is installed. Its outside a 3" and inside a 4". Why do you need to be inside a 3" ?

Thank you for the reply. I need the flange to extend inside the 3 inch drain because the existing portion gives me no access to the exterior. I would have to break tile and concrete, and cut abs drain (dremel?) without damaging abs.
The 3x3" flange I mentioned fits perfectly inside drain, but I will need to get a "10 inch" toilet bowl. I am hoping there is an offset flange, based on the Jones Stephens part #C47-33P 3x3 inch flange that I have.
Thank you.

Papafarkas:
AC101 said it!. call local plumbing supply company and see what they have to say about this issue.
I have never seen what you are requesting... so please let me know if you do find one... ;)
Normally, to install a new offset flange, you will need to break out some of the tile and the floor... so Ballenger's right to question this..?
What is rough in now.. Why are you changing this.. More info. The better.
They make plenty of 10" rough in toilets... worst case!

I don't think you cn install an offset flange without breaking out some concrete and tile. The entire offset leg is below the surface and you must create room of the pipe to move back a few inches. Keep us informed if you find something that works better. Bob
