Looking to install a bathroom in a home built in 62. As far as we can tell the plumbing was roughed in but I have no idea if there was ever a functioning toilet in here before. The cast iron drain pipe was capped, and upon inspection there is some sort of metal sheath around it. It was crushed in, but very malleable so I pried it back into shape to get an idea of what we were working with. It looks like the drain pipe will need to be cut down about 1/2 in to get it before the floor so we can install the flange (will likely install one with the expanding rubber gasket inside the pipe). What is this metal sheath? Can I just cut it out? Or do I need to pull up the floor and get under there? This is the basement so there is no under the floor access.
Thanks!
Thanks!
