    Hi Northwood...

    I have heard that there is one of these... just never seen one. You can check with your local plumbing supply store... see what they have available.

    I wouldn't recommend one either... ;) Better to use a rotary drill and drill out around the pipe and use an inside cutter to cut the pipe down and install a normal flange. In fact, I just had to do this to another plumber's job where he messed up all the pipes coming out of the floor... only took about 15 minutes.

    It seems to me that you will be choking that pipe/flange down to almost 2"... will be an issue down the road... quite sure of it.

    Let me know if you want to discuss... O.K.?
