Re: Limited options for a toilet waste pipe in concrete
"I would try to use some type of silicone so there would be a chance of removal down the road without cutting everything out. I had to do something similar in my own house."
Bad idea. If the drain ever stopped up it would be a leaking mess.
They make "Azek" (cellular pvc) in 4x8 sheets. That could be used to make a spacer.
Or a counter top manufacturer.
But if you had a half decent service plumber, who has a variety of closet flanges, that job would be done in less than an hour.
Of course that's probably a tee on its back..........

Try getting a few estimates for granite countertops. I bet it'll be a whole different experience.

What were they thinking? Other than setting the... un, throne... on a raised platform to better survey the occupants domain, I can't think of anything...
Limited options for a toilet waste pipe in concrete
We are wrapping up some work on a house and installing the toilets. We had not really looked at it much since the plumber left after the concrete was set. These are slab on grade Construction so the sub slab Plumbing is long since set.
What we thought was the top of a 3-in pipe for the toilet drain was actually the top of a wye. It goes down to the left under the slab with the vent pulled off of it to the right.
The flared end of the wye goes from about a quarter of an inch into the concrete to an inch and a half over it. On top of the concrete is a half inch of Pergo engineered flooring. That means the end of the wye is 3/4 of an inch above the flooring.
That end was cut off so that it is flush with the flooring. That means we only have about 3/4 of an inch to glue to. It turns right after that because of what it is. Even with that 3/4 of an inch the flange is sitting up high because the bevel on the underside of the flange is hitting that fitting.
It is too high in holding the toilet up and there is really not enough to glue to. We need to cut another quarter inch off of that but that only leaves a half inch that we could glue to. Any ideas that do not involve removing the floor and cutting the concrete in a finished house?

Re: TACO 007 circulation pump question
@BHD_CT It could be the start of the cartridge assembly failing. Normal amp draw should be on the data label. I believe it is .74. If more than 1.5 x times that, then you could just change the cartridge 007-045RP.
If you want to go ECM with a 007e then you would have to change out the entire pump. It would be the same flange to flange dims so easy swap out. Unfortunately, you just can’t leave the old volute in and replace with the ECM motor assembly
. Any questions please call Taco Technical Services during normal business hours M-F 8am-5pm 401-942-8000. Have a great weekend.
