I have radiant floor heat and my toilet has a slow leak from under the wax ring. I have suspicions that a wax seal on a heated floor is not a good match, but I can’t find anything about that anywhere. What say you?

One thing that you did not mention and that is sort of confusing, is on page 6, item D of the instructions, yet not shown at all on the packaging. It shows that the round plastic insert to be removed if your toilet is not flush with the floor and reset. Can you explain this, as it is confusing if you need to keep that round black ring in initially when using this flange gasket set up or not?

He explains this a 4:41 - He says, if your flange is not flush with the floor to use the blue adapter. If it is flush, you don't need it.

@@dniezby The question was about the black ring, not the blue ring. You need the round black ring left in on the first try. If the toilet wobbles because it can't sit flush, then you remove the black ring and do a second try.

@@stephenshank6716so if you try with the black ring left in place, you determine it needs to be removed, it's removed, then you reseat / reseal the toilet bowl to the floor, does that make the wax portion slip around or collapse? Thank you

getting the wax to fill the flange in the floor is not the seal. the seal is between the toilet and the rest. So....does this consist of rubber against ceramic?

Can those bolts have a nut over them to secure them before installing the toilet?

This worked great for my uneven floor around the toilet. Lets me rock the toilet while I apply shims to get it level. No leaks so far! Trying to shim with a traditional wax ring breaks the seal and leaks since you're tilting the toilet so much trying to level it.

On an older toilet that has some corrosion/texture, the top seal of your product (part that meets the toilet) does not seal. Therefore, a second wax ring will be needed to go on top. Please include this in your kit so that it really can work for any toilet. Otherwise, it will likely only work on newer toilets, and should be advertised as such so that people don't go through the hell that I did trying to figure out the problem.

I watched a similar video where the handyman explained that using cleaners, bleach, etc, can over time eat away the rubber seal. It may last for about 1 year or so. Have you had to go back and replace the lower (floor) seal after about a year or so? Thank you

John Clark to save you some headaches just use a regular wax ring with no plastic reinforcement, the plastic caps in those don’t fit inside the flange , eighth inch to big

So my sewer pipe is cast iron and measures 4 1/2 inches in diameter ... the opening inside is at 3 3/4 inches. The flange will be about 1/8 above the level floor when done. What flange and I'm thinking this Danco perfect seal without the blue "extension" on top ..?

Thank for explaining the use of the blue adapter. I remember about 20 years ago when I installed the wax ring, I had to step on to the rim of the bowl and slightly jump to make sure the wax was evenly distributed. I even used a hair dryer afterwards in the crevice of the bowl. Then I installed the tank and put in almost a 1/4 of the bottle of the coloring. flush it and hope for the best. I hope with this product, I don't have to do the 20 years ago "installation". Thanks.

I put on my first one tonight. Never removed a toilet before in my life but tonight was the night to face my fears. I had one of those Lysol toilet bowl fresheners on my bowl. I accidentally knocked it into the bowl while it was flushing and now I have to choice to pay a plumber or get after it myself. Yada, yada, yada, I did it myself. I had to remove the toilet since nothing else worked. I chose this Perfect Seal at Lowe's because it promised a perfect seal and it looked the best bet for my kinda noob skill level. Worked like a champ. Very few parts and it went in flawlessly. And yes, I did get the Lysol toilet bowl freshener out with the auger while the toilet was laying on its side. Thanks for the video guys.

Ok you make it sound like getting the wax off is so horrible and messy. Only if you make it a mess! Then you turn around and want to sell us one of you products that has “WAX” in it that will get shoved down inside and around your unit. Sounds like an oxymoron to me! How messy will that be to clean up down the road! So contradictory don’t use a wax seal, but use our wax seal? Huh 🤔 😳
@stpierreorama8 ай бұрын
That’s nonsense. You can remove your toilet and place a new one into the same perfect seal as long as the flange wasn’t damaged from over tightening. Also it wouldn’t be any harder to clean than any other wax ring. Just takes a rag a scraper and some elbow grease. I think it’s a great product overall. Provided a better seal and is cleaner to use than traditional wax ring
