Secure a Wall-Hung Toilet Secret Tip

Hi, I'm Tim Carter, Master Plummer. Check this out. We're installing a wall-hung toilet

and this massive carriage, heavy steel is what supports it. Here's the trouble. The toilet's

going to be out here and when somebody sits on it out here it puts a tremendous amount

of stress and this carriage wants to go this way. All right, so we have to put blocks here

That's what the instructions say and you put a bolt through here into the block

But you just don't put in any block. I picked a block that's from the center of a tree

and you can see all of these growth rings. Those dark growth rings are the strength

So this bolt's going to pass through a lot of them, and that's what we want. You don't want this

Don't pick a piece of wood that's like flat grain, and you can see what will happen is the bolt will only pass through

three or four of these growth rings. That's a pro tip to make sure that this carriage is not going to come out of the wall
