Abstract

A variable length bolt is employed in connection with a floor flange for the mounting of plumbing fixtures. The bolt decreases in length when tightened thereby eliminating the need to trim off excess lengths of projecting bolt or to provide an opening in the subjacent floor to accommodate excess bolt length.
