100 times out of 100 i would rather the johnny bolt snap off rather than the bolt just keep spinning with the nut. Great short vid

Used something similar to fix a toilet in my home. The flange wasn't clocked properly to allow closet bolts to be properly installed and also keep the toilet square to the wall at the same time. The last guy used lag bolts to secure the toilet to the floor and busted the plastic flange in the process 😂 so I added a stainless steel flange repair ring in order to use proper closet bolts.

It's about time someone does it right on here

My guy blocking the sewer gas for this job > my landlord letting ours recirculate in our living space for a year 🤢

Why is everybody still using standard wax rings? I've had them fail in the past, and the risk of damaging property can be in the tens of thousands. I've been running with the silicon gaskets the past 5 years and not had a single problem.

Thanks -- do you need to slip the inside lip of the metal repair ring underneath the outside edge of the plastic hub (to support it from underneath) or does this simply go around it? I can't tell if the ring needs to support the pipe from below.

Good to see the bolts with nuts on them at the bottom connection

[MaDeuce]

It infuriates me that they include closet bolts but not screws for anchoring it to the floor

[danmucklow]

Needed and my experience. The wood around the toilet plange is non. Existent or rotten and you can't screw it down

[audiophileman]

Now who says plumbing is dirty work? 😊

[gunmetlx]

Do you happen to have the longer version of this video online also? Thanks!

I was amazed that you folk use wax seals.... in Aus I've only ever seen reusable rubber seals. (Not a plumber though!)

New bolts wax ring shims call it a day

[wildmanofborneo]

If this is galvanized steel, it's garbage. Just looked at one that looked like coffee grounds. I hope an Oatey engineer sees this, and know that I cursed you for 7 generations.

[bmolax]

Picked up an oatey product the other day because I see all the YT plumbers using it

[alexwildman]

With all due respect use a designated scraper for that wax ma man it killed me to see a flat head doing that job

It's pronounced [kuh-nip-x] NOT [kuh-nee-pex]

[UsedNapkin]

I can’t believe I’m that guy, but it’s pronounced nip-ex
