The present invention provides a replacement closet flange for installing into an end of a drain pipe having an inner surface and a method of assembling a replacement closet flange. In general, the replacement closet flange includes a main body comprising a substantially cylindrical section and a flange section extending radially outward from and approximately perpendicular to an upper end of the cylindrical section, a flexible seal attached to at least a portion of the cylindrical section proximate a lower end thereof and configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to sealingly engage with the inner surface of the drain pipe, and at least one retaining clip attached to a location about an outer periphery of the cylindrical section. The retaining clip includes a retaining tab proximate an end thereof configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to fixedly engage with an inner surface of the drain pipe. |

1. A replacement closet flange for installing into an end of a drain pipe having an inner surface, said replacement closet flange comprising:
a main body comprising a substantially cylindrical section and a flange section extending radially outward from and approximately perpendicular to an upper end of the cylindrical section; a flexible seal attached to at least a portion of the cylindrical section proximate a lower end thereof and configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to sealingly engage with the inner surface of the drain pipe; and at least one retaining clip attached to a location about an outer periphery of the cylindrical section, wherein the retaining clip includes a retaining tab proximate an end thereof configured, when the replacement closet flange is installed, to fixedly engage with an inner surface of the drain pipe, thus locking the replacement closet flange in position, and wherein the flange section includes a groove extending into a portion thereof proximate the upper end of the cylindrical section, and the retaining clip includes an installation tab located proximate a second end thereof configured to engage with a surface within the groove, thus securing the retaining clip to the main body. |
