While I went too quick with the PCV cement, I did not glued my extension straith and the toilet flange is not leveled (the bubble is on the far left). I wonder if the 3in PVC pipe and glue can handle some pressure if somehow I grout it to hold it strait/leveled. Is there specs on that somewhere?
Or is it better to start over.? I don't want any leaks.

There are several problems there.
Not only is the flange too high... the hole in the floor is too big with no place to fasten the flange to.
The flange must be securely attached to the floor.
so, back when we bought the house in 1999 and we had very little money, I replaced an old pink toilet with an Eljer from HD. never liked it as it was tiny, would clog, and worst of all it was always filthy under the rim (two other toilets in the house - a Kohler and a Toto - don't have the problem). so when I recently had the Eljer replaced with a really nice Kohler I was disappointed to see that the problem remains:

I have a minor leak in a toilet shutoff valve. The problem is more complicated than I expected and would appreciate some assistance. First, the photo below shows the valve. I suspect it is soldered as there is no nut as in a compression valve but I don't see any solder - see photo.
Issue 1: please confirm it is soldered. If not, what do I have?
I'd rather not play with removing the old solder. Instead, I'm considering cutting the pipe and installing a compression valve. The distance from the plate to the valve is exactly 1 inch.
Issue 2: how much pipe must extent from the wall (minimum) to use a compression valve?
Thanks
