wax ring failure how to replace wax ring

Thank you for not wasting our time with music/intro/production. Everything was 'need-to-know.' THIS should be the new standard for how-to vids.

The “oh no” and the “yay” got me.😂😂😂😂😂😂. I went through the same thing. Said those words as well, and a bunch of bad ones too.

Nothin’ like doing all the effort to publish a helpful how-to video for some of us who can’t afford plumbers…
To bring out the jerks who just have to criticize…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK!❤

Great video that accomplished everything I needed to fix my toilet with a 30 second video . Thank you

I used one before, and the toilet clogged up a lot. A plumber I met told me to remove it and use a wax ring. 👍

[jordanleslie]

Wow, !!! As an experienced plumber myself, I can appreciate the quality of work here

The foil pan is a great idea…I usually use one of my wife’s Tupperware bowls to catch the toilet water then 2 days later it’s storing leftovers!

Having repaired/refurbished several homes over the years I have NEVER had a toilet come off that easily! 😁
Reminds me of the old Haynes Manual pictures of a spotless car in a spotless workshop. So different from lying in the road underneath an oil and crap saturated rust bucket in the poori g rain trying desperately to get this fused lump of metal to move !😜

You forgot the plumber's trick to seating it properly. YOU SIT ON IT. **Then** you finish tightening the nuts on the bolts.

Tried one. It advertised you could remove & replace it, which I needed to do, so I thought the higher cost would justify it. After replacing it leaked.

Those Silicone rings are the best! Comes with an extra foam gasket to make up different heights of the closet flange. Love those things!

I’ve changed many rings using both wax and those new fangled silly cone ones. No trouble with either. But when I seat the toilet to the floor I use plumber’s putty around the base so it sits nice and snug and level when tightened down. It doesn’t dry out and squeezed out putty is easily removed. Years later too.

I really appreciate you as a single woman. It’s tough out here on these streets anything that I can safely without seeing Jesus trying to save some money do I will do on my own, and also is certain things that I will definitely leave to the professionals like I am not climbing on my roof to wash off my solar panels.THANK YOU! .

I would secure the bolts to the flange with a washer and nut. Also just use the blue bottom part from the “better than wax” ring and put a extra thick reinforced wax ring on top of it.

[EthaKidd]

Just did this today. Took me 3 hrs and a LOT of clean up. I used the wax seal and everything seems ok so far. Except mine was leaking from the base of the bowl

[CarpetDude]

#3 reinforced wax ring w/bolts is best

[josephvaldez]

As a plumber it is so satisfying for me when I fix a leak.

Como quisiera conocer y regalarle un abraso ala DOCTORA NANCY ...

[JwooDuke]

Just did mine for the first time. Your video forgot to show the 3 trips to Home Depot

[SevenPain]

I would have used wax and you can tell he was worried about that waxless gasket too or he would have never put all that silicone all around it 😂
