Cement in a Toilet Connector??

[TheBigMatt]

Hi All,

I am replacing a toilet. I have a cast Iron Waste Pipe coming up out of the floor. It currently has a plastic "P" connector in it ( i think it is call a kwik fit??) for the toilet.
In the "well" of the Cast Iron pipe around the connector, it had been filled in with Sand/Cement mix. I have now managed to chisel all of this out so that i can replace the connector.

Should i cement the new connector in again?? The Well of the pipe needs to be filled with something, but is there a better method.

Cheers Matt

no you don't cement them in.
how much does the bell mouth of the cast iron pipe stick out the floor ?

Hi,
The Bell of the pipe sits on the floorboards, so just the 3 inch "collar" is visible.
Just to make it clear, this pipe is a "branch" that runs under the floorboards about 2.5 feet to join the Main Vertical Cast Iron Soil pipe that runs floor to ceiling through the whole house.
