    PVC joint dry-fits too loose?

    I'd tend to think the same way, hence my concern. If it was really tight, the fact that there was only 1.25" of overlap wouldn't be a big deal I think. I did some googling and saw that they make "deep closet flanges," but I wasn't able to find any specific model numbers or whether they are made...
