I am remodeling a bathroom, removed toilet saw wax ring removed wax ring saw cast iron pipe in floor raised up about a quarter inch above floor two rusted bolts that were screwed into cement floor to hold toilet down. I should mention that I have now removed the tile on the floor.The toilet had been on the concrete and tiled around , so that the toilet was below the level of the tile. The cast iron soil pipe has a rounded edge that is a quarter inch above the cement. The soil pipe is four inch. There is no flange .So Question one assuming the flange must be level with the new floor what is the best type of flange to use I would like to use something that fits inside the soil pipe? Question two will a flange that fits inside the soil pipe require me to remove concrete from around the soil pipe. Question three can the flange be screwed into the cement to hold in place around the soil pipe if so with what? I am using flooring that installed will bring the floor up to flush with the top of the soil pipe as things are now. Question four how much room should there be between the new flooring and the flange ? Please help wife tapping her foot.
