why fix something that's not broke? The wax seals last forever and do
the job simply.

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!

Why a "fatass" claim? What he said was right. You post was a waste of time

because 99 times out of a hundred a loose toilet is because of overly
large people using them. It's just a simple fact.

Totally uncalled for, Steve. 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????

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.

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.

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

Thanks for posting this brand - Sani Seal (SS).

This is newer than a "waxless" I tried years ago (Fluidmaster).

FM is a well made waxless toilet ring. It would not fit, but the SS
will be my next try. I watched the video and was impressed.

I guess they both prevent sewer gas seeping from below. :-/

You're welcome. My original intent was to find someone who has used
this specific product. Since I didn't find them here, I thought I
would try it anyway. At the rsik of jinxing myself, it seems to be
working fine and very forgiving in the install.

I've used foam ones - and they work. I've used the ones with the cone
as well, and they REALLY work. Unless the sewer backs up it is
virtually impossible for water to leak out - even if sewer gas could
get out.
