Abstract

A waste line insert is provided. A support upright for a plumbing fixture is cut and the waste line insert is inserted to provide an aperture through the supported upright that is of sufficient size for a horizontal waste line to pass through the upright.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising:
 a body having a front side and a back side with an aperture that passes from the front side to the back side;   an upper extension that extends from a first side of the body in a plane orthogonal to the aperture and includes a first set of set screws;   a lower extension that extends from a second side of the body in the plane orthogonal to the aperture and includes a second set of set screws; and   wherein the first and second sets of set screws are configured to operatively connect the device to a first and second upright portions.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a first through bolt configured to extend through the first upright portion and the upper extension in a plane parallel to the aperture, the first through bolt being fastened to a first nut; and 
 a second through bolt configured to extend through the second upright portion and the lower extension in the plane parallel to the aperture, the second through bolt being fastened to a second nut. 
 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a first through bolt configured to extend through the first upright portion and the upper extension in a plane perpendicular to the aperture, the first through bolt being fastened to a first nut; and 
 a second through bolt configured to extend through the second upright portion and the lower extension in the plane perpendicular to the aperture, the second through bolt being fastened to a second nut. 
 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the aperture is obround in shape. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the upper extension has a first arm and a second arm and the first set of set screws cause the first arm and the second arm to press against an inside of the first upright portion; and
 wherein the lower extension has a third arm and a fourth arm and the second set of set screws cause the third arm and the fourth arm to press against an inside of the second upright portion.
