Abstract
Abstract A flanged wall pipe or sleeve for masonry walls which utilizes a separate positionable flange member having a projecting radial flange adapted to permanent attachment to an intermediate area of the pipe. The flange member and barrel member of the pipe may have annular rib and groove portions for mating engagement. Alternately, the flange member may be attached by set screws or adhesive to prevent lateral movement of the joined members.
