Abstract: A two-piece water closet ring for receiving a water closet drain fitting extending upwardly through a floor and anchoring a water closet to the floor in fluid communication with the drain fitting. In a preferred embodiment the two-piece water closet ring has substantially coplanar bottom flange surfaces when assembled and is characterized by substantially semicircular first and second bottom flanged ring segments, each end of each ring segment terminating in a slotted flange. The channel-shaped ring segments are fitted around the extending end of the drain fitting to form a circular water closet ring, with the raised slotted flange on one end of each ring segment overlying the straight slotted flange on the corresponding end of the other ring segment. Ring mount screws secure the ring segments to the floor and against the water closet drain fitting.
