I have to remove a toilet. It's the first time I've done it. How do I
know which wax ring to buy at Lowes? Any tips to keep me out of trouble?

I like these better than wax rings:http://www.fernco.com/plumbing/wax-free-toilet-seal

I buy them at Ace Hardware.


Amen to that. I'll never go back to the wax rings again. I don't
think _anyone_ wouild return to wax rings after trying the waxless
once.

I agree. I'm going to try the "Fernco" brand next time to see if it
will fit. My drain has a shallow sweep, so the Fluidmaster Wax-Free
Bowl Gasket would not seat (to long) deep enough.

Fluidmaster states not to trim it down as there is a chance of failure
or loss of the O-ring seal.
