I tried one in the master bath, but the drain pipe has a shallow sweep. I could not get the unit to seat deep enough to flush with the floor. I haven't checked to see if they have modified these waxless units to work in that situation. I would use them If I could :-/ |

Unless the sewer backs up it is virtually impossible for water to leak out - even if sewer gas could get out. |

The Sani-Seal looks like a good product and is short, but without the O-ring. |

The steel ones still have better traction. And the was ring still works fine and lasts forever as long as the toilet does not rock like a rocking horse. I never had a wax ring leak. But the first time I do I'll use the new seals. There's no guarantee a wax ring will work even if the toilet doesn't rock. Tile work, etc, Just use what works. Not a big deal. --Vic |

I seat the gasket then use a level and shims to finish the job. I get your point. I guess if a person has the experience of installing wax rings, then go for the $1 wax ring. But for those of us who are DIY'ers and don't want to learn the "trick" (as you put it), this may be a better solution. I have to wonder how many wax rings have been installed incorrectly only to have to pull the toilet and do it again? How many trips to the store to get another wax ring after a person screws up the first one? The $1 wax ring could end up costing you more in gas and time than the $10. But, to each their own. Hank ~~~~~ not a sani-seal rep :-) |

Hank I would love to use them as they use an O-ring and can be reused when to fixture is removed. *I tried one in the master bath, but the drain pipe has a shallow sweep. *I could not get the unit to seat deep enough to flush with the floor. I haven't checked to see if they have modified these waxless units to work in that situation. I would use them If I could :-/ Meant to say, the one I tried was a Fluidmaster brand that inserted into the pipe. Even adjustable I could not get it short enough. The Sani-Seal looks like a good product and is short, but without the O-ring. I ordered the Sani-seal a couple days ago and got it yesterday. No leaks yet, but time will tell. This product is very user friendly, easy to install and looks like it will do the job. As of now, I highly suggest it instead of the wax ring. Hank- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I can't speak to the "sani - seal" but I have used a 'waxless toilet seal', don't recall the brand name. *Greatest invention since sliced bread. *Pull and replace toilet *without changing it, no scraping cruddy wax, no residue left on floor when toilet is pulled, etc. *I don't know why anyone would use the wax ones except in cases such as Oren mentioned. Harry K After going to Home Depot, Lowes, and the local hardware and plumbing supply stores, except for Lowes, no one in my area (Central Ohio), had anything other than the wax ring. They had tons of those. Lowes carried one waxless type but I didn't like the way it worked. Maybe the price is why, I don't know. Just seemed strange to me that even the plumbing supply stores had nevedr even heard of waxless rings. Hank~~~~~ going waxless from now on Hank A $10 gasket for one that does the same thing for $1? Oh well. I've been able to get a wax gasket to work even on bumpy floors. I always have shims on hand though. Trick is to attach the gasket to the toilet first and don't rock the toilet. I seat the gasket then use a level and shims to finish the job.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - When your wax ring can be reused as can the waxless type... Harry K Change a lot of toilets do ya?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No, but the one I used it on around 15 years ago has been pulled once and re-installed. No mess, no scraping, now wriggling around trying to get it solid, no shimming, etc. Guess some people are too enamored of the old way of doing things. Still driving a Model T are you? Harry K |

Hank why fix something that's not broke? Â*The wax seals last forever and do the job simply. -- Steve Barker Unlike you, I ask a question because I want to find an answer. Your reply was useless and a waste of time for all. Hank~~~~~ had a leaking wax ring...............duh! Well "DUH" back at ya! Â*Try a new was ring and keep the toilet tight to the floor this time. Â*fatass! Â* Totally uncalled for, Steve. Â*Alternatives to the wax ring are becoming available for a good reason. The new stuff works. Better than the wax ring. I think this is a good forum to discuss these new innovations on. You don't still drive on steel wheels and drag a stick to stop, or wipe your ass with your left thumb, do you???? no, no and no. Â*But the steel wheels do have their advantages on tractors. Â*The farmers in force when the rubber came along thought it was a pussified stupid idea. Â*The steel ones still have better traction. Â* And the was ring still works fine and lasts forever as long as the toilet does not rock like a rocking horse. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Steel does not have better treaction than rubber. If it did you would for sure see it being used at tractor pulls. I doubt if you can even buy new steel wheels for tractors these days. Harry K Under VERY LIMITTED conditions steel cleated wheels can have better traction than rubber, but in the VAST MAJORITY of situations one would encounter with a farm tractor, rubber wins hands down. However, I was not talking tractors. I was talking basic transportation. Yes, some of the very conservative Amish sects still run on iron tires on their buggies - where traction is not an issue - and a few still run with steel wheels on tractors - believe it or not.. Most of the world has progressed though, to using rubber tires (and even air filled), use friction brakes to stop, and use toilet paper to wipe their hiney. Progress happens. |
