    Add PVC adaptor to lead flange
    I have a lead drain riser on an old toilet. This leaked & caused the floor to rot. We removed the toilet & floor rot. I am replacing the existing flooring with tile which will raise the floor level. Is there a PVC adaptor that will fit & allow us to make the connection level with the new floor?

    Is there enough lead to make a flange over the new floor? If there is I would suggest using a brass flange,(see image) instead of plastic, Good luck, Tom
