I have a toilet that I want to remove and cap the pipe. When I removed the toilet the pipe

Which is metal or steel sticks up through the floor and has a bracket under the pipe to connect

To the toilet. The pipe flanges out a little. The only way I see to remove the pipe is to cut

It from below?

Tahnk you for your help.

Try posting the question in the plumbing forum (home > home & garden > plumbing). There's a veteran user/plumbing expert there (speedball1) who is usually very quick to answer new posts.

Hey Duke,
Sounds like the pipe is cast iron. Break the cast iron flange out with a hammer and for the pipe that's sticking up take a adjustable end wrench and "nibble" the pipe down 1/4 inch at a time to below the floor line.
Take it down far enough to floor over it. Now stuff rags or paper down 4 to 6 inches and fill the pipe up with cement. When the cement sets up you may floor over the pipe. May I suggest the next time you have a plumbing question that you post it on the plumbing page. It will get answered a lot sooner. Regards, Tom
