Hello Experts,
Drilled a couple nice holes through tile and the 2" mudbed underneath. Below that is plywood. No idea how thick but from a test hole it looks like 5/8" or 3/4". Is it ok to screw the 5/16" screws to hold a toilet into that plywood? If yes, what diameter pilot hole do you guys drill?
In our case it's a floor-mount rear-discharge unit but I guess the same would go for securing the typical flange of a normal toilet since a flange holds the whole toilet via its bolts.
Putting a brace underneath this one would be a bear. I'd probably have to lose 30 pounds or more just to be able to crawl to that spot.
Regards, Joerg.
