Toilet Flange To Service Pipe

Scaper

Found a leak and pulled toilet. Flange to service pipe is PVC and broke where the two bolts connect flange to toilet fixture. PVC Flange is one piece with service line and entire line seems to be connected to entire system. What is the best fix for replacing flange?

IHI

Can you see main line where the toilet flange/pipe run into? Is it easily accessible so you can cut the flange/elbow and a short bit of line completely out and then splice in new stuff?

They also make a cutter than you can chuck up in your drill that will cut the PVC from inside the flange, but if your's is indeed 1 piece I cant imagine after removing the flange only the OD or ID of what's left would hook right upto standard fittings-it might/should, but it's hard to say without seeing it

They make a "flange repair fitting" I'm not really sure what the technical plumbing supply house word for the this is, but basically it is a flange with about 4 or 5 inches of pipe on it. This part fits over the broken flange and inside the existing pipe and has a couple of gaskets around it. It has screws in it you crank down on so the pipe expands and seals the gaskets.
Kind of hard to explain, but ask about it at your local supply.

There are a variety of flange repair kits available. Go to any HD or Lowe's and check them out, I'm sure you can find one that you feel comfortable with and most all do not require a great deal of plumbing knoledge to install

I was able to use a cutting blade on a Dremmel tool and score the old flange piece vertically about a 1/4" deep, up the entire length of the old PVC flange adapter. I then used a chisel and popped the old, broken PVC flange off of the service pipe, allowing for the replacement of a new, steel ring/PVC closet adapter to service pipe! Worked like a dream and now we have a closet flange with some integrity! Thanks again for advise!
