My bathroom is completely gutted and there is no subfloor even. My toilet flange is connected to an ABS 90 degree elbow, then about 2 feet of ABS, then it ties into the main vertical waste pipe made of cast iron.
I'm new to plumbing. I see no cement on any of the joints. Can I just hammer them apart and put on the new parts and pieces? Should I take it off at the elbow or at the connection into to iron waste pipe? There is also a rubber seal that connects the ABS into the vertical waste pipe.
Also - when everything is fixed and pretty, should I bolt down the new flange flush to the subfloor? There will eventually be a tiled floor on top.
Thanks...
the flange is glued to the elbow not bolted to the sub floor. when you buy the new one you will see how it is glued on also you will see how the old one comes off, it is glued on,what i do is take a sharp chisel and cut the old flange down the sides not cutting the elbow,then i carefully chip away the old flange from the elbow,it comes apart where it is glued pretty easily hope this helps.
