Ez-flo 40028 Closet Bolt Set 5/16 X 2-1/4 Inches Plated

Product Description

The EZ-FLO 40028 is a plated closet bolt set used to anchor a toilet to the floor flange. Also called johnny bolts or closet bolts, these fasteners pass through the base of the toilet and thread into the closet flange, securing the fixture in place and compressing the wax ring seal. The set is finished with a plated coating that resists corrosion in the wet environment under a toilet base. Plumbers and drain-waste-vent installers reach for this type of hardware during new toilet installations and when replacing a rocking or leaking fixture.

This bolt set is suited for standard residential toilet installations where a 5/16-inch diameter closet bolt is required. It is commonly used during rough-in plumbing work or as a replacement set when existing bolts are corroded, stripped, or sheared during removal. The compact packaging dimensions of 1.6 inches by 3.7 inches by 0.85 inches make it easy to carry as a standard stock item on a service van.

Key Features

• 5/16-inch diameter bolt sized for standard closet flange slots
• 2-1/4-inch length provides adequate thread engagement through toilet base and flange
• Plated finish resists moisture and corrosion at the floor level
• Designed for long-term holding without loosening under normal toilet use
• Compact form factor suits van stock and jobsite replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement closet bolt set for standard residential toilet installations using a 5/16-inch closet flange slot configuration.

Installation Notes

Closet bolt sets are installed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespersons following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and fully remove the existing toilet before replacing closet bolts. Slide the bolt heads into the closet flange slots before setting the wax ring and lowering the toilet, as the bolts cannot be repositioned once the fixture is seated. Do not overtighten the nuts after setting the toilet, as excess torque can crack a porcelain base.
