3.5" toilet drain in basement
I think this is a lead pipe drain, it measures 3.5" ID. This is in my basement. I guess it's possible another pipe is in the original, but I'm not sure. The flange wasn't attached to anything when I pulled it off. Can anyone recommend on what I should do for the replacement flange?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Something similar to this should work.

Use a hammer drill, 5/32" bit and bugle head #3 phillips 1/4" x 1 1/4" or 1 3/4" tapcons to fasten it to the floor.

Here is a better link. This product would likely work better.

If those don't fit in the pipe, you might need to get a flange like this and braze some lead in, sealing it to the existing lead, then you slip the brass ring over and tap it down onto the brass and braze it onto the brass ring.
Will you be planning on putting any flooring down?

Actually, if you use the pvc ones I would probably tile around the flange. If you use the brass one, it could set on the tile. Be sure you get the tile perfectly flat where the edges of the toilet will be sitting.
Depends on the toilet though... some are more finicky than others when it comes to flange height.

If 4" won't work, would something like this suffice? It's 3 inches.
