1. A water closet fitting installation assembly for installation of a water closet fitting within a poured, permanently set floor, the assembly comprising:

  • a water closet fitting having a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to engage a water closet drain system;

    a flange adapted for rotatable engagement of an outer circumference of said second end, whereby the flange may be selectably positioned to engage a water closet stool in a desired rotational orientation relative to said fitting by means of mechanical fasteners passing through holes in the flange;

    a collar comprising a cupped annular ring adapted to receive said flange and said second end, and thereby to prevent contact between said flange, said mechanical fasteners, and unset material during pouring and setting of the floor; and

    a cover plate adapted to removably cover said second end, the cover and the second end adapted to be in flush alignment, when the second end is covered by the cover, with an upper surface of said unset material when the floor is poured;

    whereby, upon installation of said fitting in an unset material comprising a poured floor, said removable cover prevents unset material from entering the water closet fitting, so that said fitting and said drain system are kept free from the material.
