This is my second inquiry, are wax better than waxless? What brands are best?
Thanks
Thanks
Personally I've used wax rings for the 30 some years I've been a plumber, and never had a problem w/them. I believe in them, and if I have to pull a w.c. I usually just reshape the wax ring to provide the watertight seal and remount the w.c. to the closet flange: again, no problems with leaks.molo said:This is my second inquiry, are wax better than waxless?

Cass said:Horned and regular wax rings have the same amount of total wax thickness, so what is it about them that you think causes leaks?
RUGGED said:Buy a horned ring and take it apart. The horn part is usually 3/4" down in the wax. Has everything to do with whether that horn fits correctly into the flange or is the flange too high......thus compressing the wax the total distance.
I can't count the number of times that I pull a toilet and horn is free of wax, leaking. And the wax isn't on the toilet either.
This is awkward, but...
