Abstract: A carrier plate for supporting a wall-mounted water closet, the carrier plate including a face plate having a top end, a bottom end opposite the top end, a front face, and a rear face opposite the front face. The carrier plate also including a bracket extending from the rear face of the face plate proximate the top end to define a bracket length, and one or more feet extending from the rear face of the face plate proximate the bottom end to define a foot length and a base plane, where the foot defines an anchor aperture therethrough, where the anchor aperture defines an anchor zone including a volume delineated by the cross-section of the anchor aperture extended normal to the base plane in both directions therefrom, and where the bracket is not positioned within the anchor zone.

Abstract: A compression collar is used for reinforcing an interference fit between a piping end and a fitting. The compression collar comprises a reinforcing ring having a tubular geometry with a radially-inward facing surface and a radially-outward facing surface. A sleeve is received around, at least in part, a portion of the radially-outward facing surface of the reinforcing ring and this sleeve wraps around one axial end of the reinforcing ring to form a stop edge thereon.

Abstract: A crimping ring is used for securing a fitting within a tube. The crimping ring comprises a metallic ring and an indicator. The metallic ring has a radially inward surface and a radially outward surface. The indicator is applied to at least a portion of the radially outward surface of the metallic ring and visually indicates a dimensional state of the crimping ring to a user.
