Author: packy (MA) i would bring the 4 inch higher than the anticipated finish floor. when the floor is finished, cut the 4 inch flush with the top of the floor. then use a push fit flange thay has no taper on the bottom. (called flush fit) make sure the ring is stainless and it is well secured to the floor.
