I thought I would try and No-Wax ring for the first time.
There seem to be a lot on the market now since Fernco first came out with one (I believe they were first?)
The differences in them appear to be:
Fernco -- requires install on toilet with adhesive sticking to bowl.
Hence previous installs require through cleaning of bowl bottom.
Because Fernco tube sticks out, requires toilet to rest on side prior to install.
Oatey - Like a squishy rubber tire.
Fluidmaster - Haven't seen one but from description this site appears to be similiar to Fernco.
Danco - Combination of wax (to flange) and rubber (pressure fit against bowl with no adhesive).
Wax is contained in rubber sleeve so less mess -- at least prior install.
I like the Danco design the best, but question whether the pressure fit to bowl will hold or leak during a backup.
=======================================
Looking for feedback on the Danco or any of the other No-Wax -- OR -- is wax still the best?
