I am replacing toilet in 35 year old bathroom.
When I took the toilet off �I removed the wax ring. �The wax ring sat
on a black base part that sits on the floor and goes into the
drainage. �It broke and I need a new one. �It seems to have two parts
with the upper part that sits on the floor and the lower part that is

part and do I need to put any special silicone on the new one when I
put it in?
