ABSTRACT:
A telescoping closet flange for bringing a vertical drain pipe even with the level of a concrete floor comprises a cylindrical body, a seal, a slide and a seal cap held together by fastening members. Prior to pouring the concrete floor, a spacer sleeve is fitted over the drain pipe so that, when removed, sufficient space is left for the telescoping closet flange. After the concrete has set, the spacer sleeve is removed and the telescoping closet flange is placed over the drain pipe. The flange may be slid up or down along the drain pipe to achieve the desired height. By tightening a set of shoulder bolts and nuts, a water tight seal is formed between the flange and the drain pipe.
