My toilet was leaking and I noticed the flange was broken so I’m replacing it. The old flange was sitting on a pretty uneven surface so I chipped away the tile mortar to create a flat subfloor surface.
The subfloor is about 1.5” below the finished floor. The waste pipe is 3” with a coupling. When I put a spigot flange on it, it can’t go far enough into the pipe to sit flush with the sub floor; there’s about an inch gap.
My plan is to put spacers under the flange so the flange will sit flush on the spacers.
See the attached video and please let me know if this approach makes sense or if I should be doing something else.
