Great refresher video for me, thanks! I haven't touched a carrier in 6 years and am now plumbing lead on a government job. I can't seem to find my answer and plan on calling Zurn tomorrow. Nothing in any pdf's I found or my submittals, but there is no mention of the diameter of the bearing rod (4 rods that carry the WC). A rest area I did long ago had to have the carriers go through a block wall, so I had to use the max 12" couplings. This new job, same situation, but I have some double carriers going in and the wet wall leaves the face of the carrier just a smidge off from even the 12" couplings being able to hit my needed 5/16" through finish wall. Do you know if Zurn has anything over 12" these days? Or a coupling for the coupling? Extension adapter, or anything? Crazy how the government can demand I follow strict rules but their engineers make things impossible to do to specs that they set. Lastly, I've done tons of carriers and have always used 3/8" rod and drop ins for my feet anchoring. The specs for the these carriers say 1/2". If the space is as I remember on the holes of the feet, 1/2" won't be possible to have the slightest wiggle room, and wiggle room in anchoring is a must. Again, I plan on calling Zurn but having Q and A on these type of videos saves people much more time and only benefits the manufacturers if you can answer any of these Q's. The carriers I'm going to be working with are the Z1201-N4's and the Z1201-ND4's. Thanks again!
Does the coupling and threaded rod have to be set to the perfect depth prior to wall being finished? Is there any adjustment after finished wall is in place? For example, could you leave rods extra long and cut afterwards to desired length?
From commercial experience you can leave the rod long then cut to desired length after sheetrock and tile go up. Same thing with the coupling, leave it full length until after sheetrock and tile and unthread it. Cut it to your desired length and thread it back in
Thank you for your feedback - This video is all about installing the carrier before attaching the water closet. We didn’t include the actual connection of the unit in this video.
Had to cable this system today and couldn’t figure out what the hell I was looking (residential plumber no commercial background) at now it all makes sense.

Show us the tricks to do faster! The legs move too much when adjusting

Hi Jared- glad it made sense! If you ever have any other questions you can call our customer care line 855.663.9876
Dang, it would have been nice to see the W. C. installed. Oh well.
HE DID NOT CHECK PLUMB AND LEVEL WHEN HE INSTALLED... THATS THE PART I WANT TO SEE...
“Now for the next step..”

1-1/16 of a inch isn’t right.
