ABSTRACT:
A flange assembly (10) for connecting a plumbing fixture to a drain pipe (106) in a fluid sealing relationship. The flange assembly includes a ring (12), an extension (20), a gasket (24) and a connector pipe (30). The extension extends outward from the top surface (12A) of the ring and the connector pipe extends outward from the bottom surface (12B) of the ring. The gasket is mounted over the end of the extension opposite the ring. The top wall (24A) of the gasket has an opening (26) which allows access to the center bore (22) of the extension. The waste outlet (104) of the plumbing fixture is inserted through the opening (26) in the top wall of the gasket into the center bore of the extension. When the waste outlet is inserted into the opening in the gasket, the gasket forms a seal between the waste outlet and the extension.
