What is the minimum thickness of a Brass closet flange as per regulations?

1/16" inch
1/8" inch
1/4" inch
1/2" inch

The correct answer is: 1/8" inch

The minimum thickness for a brass closet flange according to plumbing regulations is 1/8 inch. Flanges serve a critical role in providing a secure connection between the toilet and the floor, ensuring both stability and preventing leaks. A thickness of 1/8 inch strikes a balance between durability and functionality, providing enough strength to support the weight of a toilet while being manageable for installation purposes. Thicker flanges may lead to complications during installation or may not be compliant with specific regulatory standards, which aim to standardize materials for safety and effectiveness in plumbing systems.
