In a previous post I talked about an option when installing your new toilet of using a no-wax option for the floor seal as opposed to a wax ring. This is one of those products and the one I frequently use. I have changed enough wax rings to know that they do need to be replaced from time to time. Things like plunging the toilet or sewer line back up can blow out a normal wax ring and cause it to leak. This requires pulling the toilet up just to replace the wax ring. So it’s not something most people want to do. So here’s your best chance of avoiding that. I’ve been using these no-wax seals for years and I definitely recommend using them.
