Toilet tank removed, cleaned, and almost back on.
Which wing nuts are better for under a toilet tank?
Zinc or stainless steel?
With brass bolts. Beneath the wing nut, black lock washer, flat washer, rubber washer, and tank bottom.
I could use the included nuts, I suppose, and it might be easier to unscrew 30 years from now, but it would be verrrrry difficult to tighten with a wrench so it would only be finger tight today.
Wat should I use.
The Democrats have started WW3. What makes you think you'll be around a year from now?
Stainless, but I'd probably just use the included ones, some anti-seize on the threads if you have it. How many more times do you think this will need to be done? I've gone decades and haven't had to do a single one.
Only do it finger tight!! Using a wrench makes it likely you'll crack the bottom of the tank.
Use the supplied nits and buy a socket set - deep socket will remove the nuts
