Install toilet repair flange or not?

[Left-is-Hot]

Water was leaking from underneath toilet after I had replaced the flanged wax gasket about 8 months earlier. Iron pipe is corroding but I can still fit bolt screws in and they will hold. Top of iron is slightly lower than the tiled floor.

Should I just install another flanged wax gasket? Or should I get one of those repair flanges that extends down into the pipe and has screws to tighten it outward?

It doesn't look that low. I would just double up on the wax seals. Place the horned one on the flange first, followed up by one without a horn.

That's a good idea. What is a "horned" seal? A wax seal WITH the black plastic flange?

Yes.

Though you have to be a little bit careful when using double wax seals, as I have seen this leak a few times. If you can find an extra tall wax seal, that is a better choice for someone without a lot of experience.

I prepped it underneath the toilet to make sure there were no spaces. It seemed to fit on well when I se it. Hopefully all is well now.
