    Offset Closet Flange for Cast Iron?
    Hi,

    My cast iron waste pipe centerline is 11 inches from the finished wall. It worked with my old toilet (since disposed of) but won't work for my new Kohler.

    Is there an offset for cast iron that is easy to install? BTW, the floor was tiled and the old closet flange had an extra flange as a spacer.

    Thanks!

    Hi - I ordered and received the part. Looks to me that I have to remove the old flange - is that right? How does one do that ?
    Thanks !

    Could you post a top-view picture of the existing flange?

    That would be very helpful.

    This look identical to our situation, Did you document the install with pics? Did this offset flange work for you? How hard was it to chip away the tile and concrete?
