Screw a threaded male adaptor into each floor flange. Using a tubing cutter, cut five sections of 1½-inch pipe. Drop each section into a male adaptor. Using a drill/driver outfitted and ⅛-inch bit, drill a hole through one side of each adapter-pipe pair. Drive a ½-inch self-tapping screw into each hole to lock each pair together.
