Long Island, NY. Feb 21, 2012. #1. OK, it seemed simple enough: I bought an Oatey TKO toilet flange with the stainless steel swivel ring on it. I wanted to remove the test seal molded into it because I'm just replacing the bend and the flange, and no test was going to be performed.

The flange and pipe in essence become one when solvent welded therefore if the pipe is out of plumb then the flange will be out of level. Your first instinct to bust up the concrete around the toilet drain is the correct one. Good luck
