    Jow to fix a plumbing mistake
    Thanks for all your help. Now my next problem. While I was at the hard wear store buying the glue you recommended to connect my PVC toilet flange to my ABS pipe coming out of my concrete, my brother decided to finish the job I was working on so he could install the toilet. He glued the PVC toilet flange to the ABS pipe using ABS glue. When I got home with the right glue he was so proud of himself the toilet was installed, not knowing he used the wrong glue. (Crap) will that glue hold (being a non pressure fitting and the very end of the line or how do I get them apart to use the right glue (with out cutting if possible)? Thanks so much

    Now that the toilet is already installed and like you say this is not pressurized fitting I would suggest to leave it for the time being, and watch it in the future if any leak or smell coming out from the base of the toilet, then you have to remove the toilet cut the flange and replace it, but wait un till morning when experts wakes up and get on they may give you better idea then mine, Thanks.

    Can't give you much better advice then John. Use it, watch it, and if you don't have any leaks, buy your brother a beer and forget it. Good luck, Tom
