any substitution for riser ring?

sunwave

hi, everyone, need your advise again.
i'm trying to install a new slant/fin baseboard, according to their instruction i need to drill a 1-1/4" hole on the floor and use their raiser ring. Is there anything i could purchase from home depot or lowes that could serve the same purpose?

Go to the big box store and get an internal suspension clamp .
First item , of course you'll use a 3/4 .

Looks like you attach it after you install/solder-as an escutcheon so you can drill an oversize hole and have a trim piece. I would order them, or find a nice plumbing escutcheon in oil rubbed bronze, or your color choice-or make some out of wood.

I drill an oversized hole and inset a piece of armaflex
The riser rings are used to prevent expansion and contraction noise
