Probably the wrong size flange. Is the flange a toilet collar? If so the pipe is probably 4 inch.
A pipe spool refers to a prefabricated section of a piping system. This includes the pipe, fittings and flanges that are pre-assembled. They are pre assembled because this can be done in a controlled environment.
The best method for installing a toilet flange on a cast iron pipe is to use a wax ring and secure the flange with screws. Make sure the flange is level and properly aligned with the pipe before tightening the screws.
No, it is not recommended to glue the toilet closet flange to the pipe. The flange should be secured to the floor using bolts or screws, and the toilet is then secured to the flange using wax rings or sealing gaskets. Gluing the flange to the pipe can make it difficult to remove or replace the toilet in the future.
What is actually broken the flnge ring rusted out and broke or the abs pipe? Abs pipe/flange broken: Use a ram bit to cut it out and install a new one. http://www.plumbingsupply.com/pvcsaver.html use a compression or expansion flange http://www.plumbingsupply.com/toiletflanges.html or just cut the pipe and put in a new one Flange ring rusted/broken: install a toilet flange repair ring or a spanner flange.
Usually toilet flange is glued down onto plastic drain pipe. There is a toilet flange that can be glued inside of plastic drain pipe also.

To replace a shower drain flange, you will need to remove the old flange by unscrewing it from the drain pipe. Then, clean the area around the drain pipe and install the new flange by screwing it into place. Make sure to seal the flange properly to prevent leaks.
depending on your type of flange and pipe and the damage of the flange, if you have a PVC flange with just the bolt slots busted then you can screw in new bolts to the floor below the flange and still use the flange but if its broken where the wax seal sits then if your flange is lower then the floor you can use a insert flange that fits inside your old toilet flange with thin walls to keep the pipe size maximum. To replace the entire flange can be a job especially if its in concrete or in a floor joist because most of the time you have no room and if its cast iron pipe it can be even more of headache but in order to replace the flange you need to cut it out to where you can reconnect the pipe and flange by using a fernco or a no hub band. Sometimes it is impossible to replace because the flange can be on all close fittings and you pretty much have to replace most of the plumbing drain pipe to replace it properly which is why you want to try repairing your toilet flange rather then replacing it .
A pipe spool drawing is a drawing made specifically for plumbers. It is a drawing that helps them to see the intricate network of the pipes so that they can better fix them.
