Abstract:
A quick connector assembly for connecting a toilet waste pipe to a drain pipe including a toilet carrier base. A collet has resilient radially inward fingers and a lock body secures the collet in place. The lock body has guide tracks with locked portions that define a locked position and unlocked portions that define an unlocked position. A lock nut includes interior protrusions coupled in the guide tracks for movement between the locked and unlocked positions. A guide is slidingly mounted between the lock nut and lock body. In the unlocked position, the lock nut forces the guide into the collet so that the radially inward fingers are splayed to allow removal of a toilet waste pipe for adjustment. In the locked position, the guide is not forced into the collet so that the radially inward fingers prevent removal of the toilet waste pipe for fast and easy assembly.
