Procedure Request for Cutting Concrete to Add Flange?
My basement rough-in left us with a 3 inch PVC stub with glued on cap sticking right out of the concrete. I would like to remove enough concrete from around the pipe to add an offset closet flange. Can anyone walk me through the procedure/exact tools needed for this? (the house is 7 months old... )
Also, are there any problems associated with using an offset flange. I cannot get the correct clearances to the left and right, otherwise.
Thank you,
Kim
Ugh, sounds like too much work. Any other solutions out there?
The toilet clearance to the back wall is more or less OK at 12 inches to the framed wall, most toilets seem to have the tank sitting around 3/4 to an inch close to the wall, so I think we can squeeze on in. The side clearance is the problem. I believe we have 13 inches to the outside of the shower pan we are installing (with glass doors on top of that) We were left only 30 inches from the Toilet drain to the shower drain (center to center). I detailed all measurements in another post, but fear it was too long to receive any comments!
Thanks again,
Kim
If we were to chisel away the concrete is it hard to remove from the PVC pipe without damaging it?
