Working on installing a toilet in our newly renovated bathroom. Laminate flooring over concrete floor.

The rough in pipe is shorter than I'd like it and the toilet flange only overlaps 1/2" onto the pipe. Should I look for a flange with a longer overlap? Can you point me to what I should use?

Also, how long of concrete anchors should I use? 1/4x2-1/4" or 1/4x2-3/4"

Here are a couple pictures

unless

you also need 1/2 soles

1/2 soles?

long flange will be fine.
i don't know if big box stores have them but plumbing supply houses have them.
as for the water supply, cut the pex at 2 1/16 inches from wall. slide a 1/2 inch copper chrome BELL shaped flange over the pex and slide a stainless steel stifener (sp?) into the pex. then use a 5/8 compression x 3/8 compression angle stop. tighten it up and you will have a nice finished job.

Use one of these and you're off to the races.

Try an actual plumbing supply, ask for a 3x4 adjustable internal flange assembly

Since you are in IOWA, Go and buy a one piece SS repair flange and mark the the flange and drill so you can use the appropriate TAPCON concrete screws, the flange is thin enough that you can place it over the top of the plastic flange and it lend a lot of strength to the flange, You will have to get 1/4" by the longest length you can closet bolts but it should work w/o breaking up concrete. Use a #1 wax seal and you will be good
