I removed the tile from one of my bathrooms and found the old toilet flange was a good 1" above the concrete slab. I have an Oatey Fast Set PVC flange that goes inside the 4" pipe. After a hour of carefully chiseling out the old flange (that was also an inside pipe flange) I am finding that the flange does not go fully into the pipe. At first I thought this is like dry fitting and there would be a interference fit. However, this offset when dry is like 2" and not the normal 1/2" or 3/4" that I would expect. The 4" pipe has been trimmed so that it fits flush with the slab. The newly installed tile is 1/2" thick. How do I ensure that the flange will go all the way flush with the floor? I can find no information on any offset vs dry fitting length.
I did sand the inside the 4" pipe after removing the old flange and I can certainly sand some more if that is the solution. I can also sand the fitting a bit as well. Thanks in Advance!
