Silicone Flanged
How do I replace an existing toilet that is plumbed into clay sewer pipe (female end) ?

The toilet I want to replace is plumbed into a clay sewer pipe that has the female end standing proud of the floor. I have a new caroma toilet with shroud (will not fit over clay pipe flange). I know of the pan collars in plastic (iplex) but have only ever seen them plumbed into plastic pipe (100DWV). Do I chip the flange down to floor level and then silicone a pan collar in?

Question: Is this a slab floor or is there a basement/crawlspace below? If you have a basement/crawlspace, then your best option is to go to your local tool rental establishment and rent a "soil pipe" cutter. You can then "snap" the line below floor level and use a fernco rubber coupling to go from the clay pipe to plastic (PVC.)

To "chip" it down is a very dangerous game as clay pipe has a tendency to split. A long sawzall blade would be a better option.

Good luck!
