I'm installing a basement subfloor, and am having trouble figuring out what
to do with the existing toilet hookup.

The closet flange for the toilet is set directly into the concrete and once
I add the subfloor it's obviously too low (2 1/8" to be exact). I can't
seem to find an extension kit bigger than 7/16", and supposedly you can only
stack 4 of those (leaving me short still).

I can't be the first person to do this... any suggestions other than ripping
up the concrete and extending the pipe?

Thanks!

Kevin

I would look into finding a new closet flange that will fit inside the
old one to make up the 2+" gap.

Agree with Nick.
You need to find out the pipe size.
There is a flange which has a rubber expansion ring
which will probably work if the pipe is 4".
