    Hey Guys!

    Bob showed you the correct spanner flange to use in your situation.

    If want to "step it up a notch"... could also use a new closet ring (see pic. #1) or could cut the old metal ring off with tin snips and use the CLAMSHELL (click on theclam2.pdf... the clamshell slides under/into plastic... like making a completely new flange)... sold at most PLUMBING supply stores.

    But if only one side of flange defective... try the spanner flange Bob showed you... should do the trick.

Dyi rusted toilet flange? [ 1 Answers ]

I have a toilet flange on a 4" cast iron pipe (c. 1955) that has rusted away to the extent that the flange lip has broken away, so the toilet bolts have nothing to hold on to. The flange is cast iron, the pipe appears to be cast iron. I can get to the pipe from under the floor but not the top...
