Hi, I'm Tim Carter, Master Plummer. Check this out. We're installing a wall-hung toilet
0:07
and this massive carriage, heavy steel is what supports it. Here's the trouble. The toilet's
0:14
going to be out here and when somebody sits on it out here it puts a tremendous amount
0:19
of stress and this carriage wants to go this way. All right, so we have to put blocks here
0:25
That's what the instructions say and you put a bolt through here into the block
0:30
But you just don't put in any block. I picked a block that's from the center of a tree
0:35
and you can see all of these growth rings. Those dark growth rings are the strength
0:40
So this bolt's going to pass through a lot of them, and that's what we want. You don't want this
0:46
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
0:52
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
