What happens here

The glass-filled nylon closet bolt is inserted into the prepared setup. Using a screwdriver, the bolt is steadily tightened, compressing the thick metal piece against the metal closet flange and wooden board. As the bolt is tightened, observable deformation of the wooden board and the metal bar occurs, vividly illustrating the significant pressure and tensile strength the glass-filled nylon bolt can withstand without breaking or failing. This visual effect, where the wood itself begins to warp and pull, clearly indicates the bolt's high load-bearing capacity, addressing skepticism about its 'plastic' nature.

Goal: Visually prove the high tensile strength of the nylon closet bolt.

Tools and materials

  • Metal Closet Flange — Part of the simulated installation receiving the bolt's pressure
  • Screwdriver — To tighten the closet bolt, applying pressure to the setup
  • Thick Piece of Metal — To provide resistance and show compression from the tightened bolt
  • Wooden Board — To show the effect of the bolt's tension as it warps under pressure

What they say

like, there's no way it's going to hold up to a to a toilet or somebody sitting on it. So, what I'm going to do is we just have a board, we have a metal closet flange, we have a pretty thick piece of metal here. That bar and actually that wood, you can see that wood >> Dude, it's pulling like it's a warp as well. >> Yeah, it's pulling like crazy. Look at that. So, that is holding up to a lot of pressure. And so, this is one of the nice things about the the Plumb Perfect is it's not
