Abstract: A hardware set for mounting a plumbing fixture to a surface includes male and female threaded components. The male and female components engage within an opening of the plumbing fixture and have respective lengths selected to allow the components to overlap and tighten in an area hidden from view. The visible portions of the hardware are close to the plumbing fixture and present a substantially finished appearance, in contrast to standard hardware.

Abstract: Openings such as those for attic staircases may be covered with a multipocket member having top, side, and end pockets in which insulation can be placed. The side pockets are of longer length than the top pocket. When the side and end pockets are pivoted downwardly from the top pocket and provided in box-like configuration, the insulation at the pivot edges is compressed thereby filling up these edges.
