ABSTRACT:
A water closet fitting comprising a removable test baffle allows a water closet drain system to be tested for fluid tight integrity after the fitting has been installed in a poured, permanently set floor such as concrete. The test baffle is removably attached to the fitting, preferably by interfering fit between the test baffle and the fitting, for efficient installation, and comprises means for removing the baffle entirely from the fitting and the drain system after the completed system has been permanently installed and successfully tested. A preferred embodiment of the baffle is flexible, has a diameter greater than that of the central drain system, and comprises a central dome to enhance its pressure resistant characteristics. The flexibility of the baffle allows it to be removed through the installed drain system after the system has been tested successfully.
