Maybe this is how toilets are roughed in in some parts of the country - no in any states I've worked...

You need to glue on a flange and I'm unaware of a flange that glues on the inside of the pipe.

I cut the pipe off flush, use inside cutters to cut the pipe down inside the cement then glue the flange on. The hub of the flange is glued to the outside of the pipe.

Then, the flange is bolted to the cement and the toilet is attached to the flange in the normal way with closet bolts.

If the rough in was a paid job - I'd ask them back to put a flange on.

: I am finally finishing the bathroom in my basement and I have three questions concerning the new toilet. There is about 12" of 4" ABS sticking out of the concrete for the toilet. Questions:

: 1. How close to the floor do I cut this 4 " ABS?
: 2. Do I need anything beside No-Seep No. 3 to seal it?
: 3. What is the best way to attach the toilet to the concrete floor?
: 4. Any other advice that will make this job easier?

: Any help would be greatly appreciated!
