What happens here

To demonstrate the strength of the glass-filled nylon closet bolt, a test setup is prepared. This setup consists of a wooden board serving as a base, a metal closet flange secured to the board, and a thick piece of metal placed over the flange. This configuration is designed to simulate the compression and forces a toilet base would exert on the closet bolt, allowing for a clear visual of its load-bearing capabilities when tightened.

Goal: Assemble a setup to visually test the bolt's tensile strength.

Tools and materials

  • Metal Closet Flange — Simulating the toilet flange to which the bolt is attached
  • Thick Piece of Metal — Simulating the base of a toilet, applying compression on the bolt
  • Wooden Board — Serving as the base for the demonstration setup

times plumbers will use like a metal closet bolt, sometimes a brass one. Brass ones tend to be a little bit more expensive. People look at it, they're like, there's no way it's going to hold up to a to a toilet or somebody sitting on it.
