Closet flange spacer
In one aspect of the subject invention, a spacer is provided for supporting a closet flange above a sub-flooring, the closet flange having a pipe section and an annular flange extending radially outwardly from the pipe section. The spacer includes a disc-shaped body having spaced apart first and second faces, and spaced apart inner and outer edges extending between the first and second faces. The inner edge defines an opening extending through the body, the opening sized to permit passage therethrough of the pipe section of the closet flange but not the annular flange of the closet flange. The outer edge is generally smooth and arcuate. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a spacer is provided usable with a closet flange to provide elevation thereof.
1. A combination comprising:
a closet flange having a pipe section and an annular flange extending radially outwardly from the pipe section; and
at least one spacer for supporting the closet flange above a sub-flooring, said spacer comprising:
a body having spaced apart first and second faces, and spaced apart inner and outer edges extending between said first and second faces, said inner edge defining an opening extending through said body, said opening sized to permit passage therethrough of the pipe section of the closet flange but not the annular flange of the closet flange, said body defining an outer periphery greater than an outer diameter of the annular flange of the closet flange, wherein at least one score line is defined to extend across said first face between, and in contact with, said inner and outer edges to define a reduced-thickness portion between said first and second faces.
2. A combination as in claim 1 , wherein at least two of said score lines are provided in said first face, said score lines being disposed along a straight axis coinciding with a center of said body.
