I’m starting to think that they intend on sealing around the outside of the flange, and not on the end of the pipe. I think that was their intention all along. That way there’s no need to guarantee a perfect cut... just to get enough of the pipe stub off to make room for the bell to fit down over it.
I have not seen anything though that shows the dimensions of that bell, or what its size is relative to the pipe-stub/flange.
That sounds right but I think the pipe is much more oval than the pic we’re seeing indicates. The sealing ring will have to be a good bit larger than the pipe to slip over without damaging the seal. But I agree that looks like what they are trying to do. There must be some good reason that they don’t want to remove the stub along flange.
That is my thinking as well
