Industry Standard Water Closet Carriers support wall hung "off the floor"
water closets. Water closet carriers anchor to the structural floor behind
the finished wall, and support the fixture independent of the wall structure.
Watts closet carriers incorporate a patented compression seal nipple,
which positively holds test, and eliminates behind the wall leaks.
