Hello Folks,
We have tile over a 2" mud bed in the bathroom. I need to fasten the toilet with 5/16" lag bolts per its instructions. It's a back-discharge (Yorkville) so these screws aren't going to a flange ring but right into the floor.
In Europe I always used big nylon mollies (Fischer) but I can't find those here, at least not this big. Instead, there is a myriad of metal fasteners in the stores.
What do you guys use to bolt a toilet to concrete? Or if you never mounted a back-discharge unit what do you use to secure a flange into a concrete floor?
Of course I could drill through to the plywood but that stuff always seems a bit flimsy to me. Once I did that and managed to tear the wood right out when turning the bolt (and I am not Arnold).
Regards, Joerg.
