Guys, I am fairly sure JIMMIE is a troll.

If he would care to tell me how he plans to glue in the repair for the
section he removes I might change that opinion.

Have you thought about that?

Internal coupling?



Disclainer: I'm no plumber nor very experienced at it.

Would the lip set the stage for clogging????

The pipe for a toilet is 3" sched 40? If this is true, I found some chart
that says the internal diameter is 3.068.

http://www.snapfour.com/pdf/Table_38-39.pdf

Sched 40 wall thickness is about 1/4" (.216 according to the table) I
take it. If you put an internal coupling (assume it's sched 40 like the
pipe?) then the drain reduces a half inch at the coupling. Roughly,
diameter is reduced 16% the internal flow area is reduced from 7.39 sq in
to 5.18 sq in. or 30%.

Maybe couplings for schd 40 are thinner wall than the pipe?


Beats me. I just know they exist. My plumbing experience is
limited to the few things I've had to repair for myself.
