Unless we survey a statistically significant number of plumbers, we are probably only guessing at this.hj said:It is the other way around.
1 Most plumbers do NOT use the wax ring with a funnel.
2. Some plumbers DO use the one with the funnel.
I'll try that next time I use two wax rings. Although the other way has worked fine for me up 'til now.hj said:3. If you are going to use two wax rings, the one on the TOP should be the one with the funnel so it keeps the lower one without one lined up.

I learned an interesting lesson today which actually touches on another post here about a sweating tank. Homeowner has his toilet piped into a hot water line. Seems like every 8 to 10 months, he gets a leak at his wax ring. The guy who I was helping out looks at me, and says "Rob, what do you think hot water feeding a toilet does to a wax ring?" Never really gave it a thought before. Then he points out the few times when a toilet gets used sucessively, and he also points out the small amount of water that escapes the bowl upon a refill after a flush. Food for thought, huh?
Verdeboy said:So, what you're saying is that hot water is required to activate the "time release" wax rings?
This is awkward, but...
