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!❤
-
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.
-
Great video that accomplished everything I needed to fix my toilet with a 30 second video . Thank you
-
Wow,!!! As an experienced plumber myself, I can appreciate the quality of work here
-
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. 👍
-
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!
-
You forgot the plumber's trick to seating it properly. YOU SIT ON IT. *Then* you finish tightening the nuts on the bolts.

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 !😜

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! .

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

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
-
Thank you your video helped me a lot.
-
Those are the worst. I have thrown so many away after showing up to flooded bathrooms... will never use them
-
If the flange is below the floor put a wav ring down without the horn 1st and then another wax ring on top of it will a horn to prevent it
-
#3 reinforced wax ring w/bolts is best
-
Thank you for the information.
