Abstract: A closet flange plug for sealing an opening of a closet flange and for being cut away by operation of a hole saw. The closet flange plug has an annular body portion for sealing the closet flange opening and a drill guide post concentrically disposed within the body portion. The drill guide post has a solid base portion of a material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermoplastic, operative to bind in the hole saw drill bit. The annular body portion is adapted to be cut through by the hole saw. The drill guide post has an upper portion projecting above the annular body portion while the base portion projects below the annular body portion. A borehole concentrically disposed within the upper portion of the guide post has a portion sized to interfere with and be drilled into by the hole saw drill bit.

Abstract: A telescoping toilet mounting assembly and a method for mounting a toilet to a floor and a wastewater pipe. Hollow bolts project from clamping plates to be received through mounting holes in an upper male flange section and through mounting holes of a toilet base. Base bolt nuts are tightened onto the hollow bolts to secure the upper male flange section to the toilet base prior to lowering the toilet and the upper male flange section into engagement with a lower female flange section. Fastening bolt structures with adjustable-length body portions and threaded tips can pass through the hollow bolts and into threaded engagement with mounting members fixed to the lower female flange section fixed to the wastewater pipe and the floor. Alternatively, fastening bolts pass through the hollow bolts and into threaded engagement with upstanding registration and locking rods retained relative to the lower female flange section.
