Wax Free Toilet Seal Kit

A:  Yes, this product is made in the USA.

A:  Yes

A:  I didn’t have to cut mine, it forms a very tight seal around the hole in the floor.  If you are having trouble, try checking for a video on how to install it to get the correct positioning.

A:  Let us help! Are you able to contact our Technical Support team? We would like to learn more about your toilet and help with installation. Nothing should be cut on the WaxFREE seal. Please call 262-763-2434 or email Sales@Lavelle.com. We are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM CST.

A:  Thanks for your question. The water that flows from the bottom of the toilet, down through the WaxFREE seal and into the floor drain is still protected by rubber. Additionally, the foam is made of a closed cell foam and does not absorb water. If you have additional questions, please call 262-763-2434 or email Sales@Lavelle.com to speak with our Technical Support team. We are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM CST. All Korky WaxFREE seals are backed with a 10 year warranty.

A:  I was skeptical at first on this being a long time beeswax ring guy but I did try it when I remodeled our downstairs half bath and have had no issue with leaking or seepage. I would use this again.

A:  Great question! The foam is made from a closed cell foam so it doesn't act like a traditional sponge. It's designed not to absorb water. If you have additional questions or need any assistance, please call 262-763-2434 or email Sales@Lavelle.com to speak with our Technical Support team. We are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM CST.

A:  I gave it five stars. Everything is fine. I bought two of those items from Home Depot about a year. Thank you Home Depot

A:  I also bought the FLUIDMASTER Better Than Wax Universal Wax-Free Toilet Seal, and used it instead of the KORKY. These do not have any foam. They are both made of a flexible silicone material; therefore, there will be no absorption of any overflow. In order to prevent any 'under-the-bowl' water from overflow, I applied white silicone caulking around the base of the bowl. Some people recommend caulking and some don't ... you have to make that decision.

A:  It is closed cell foam so won’t soak up the overflow.  It is supposed to prevent leakage around the seal.  

A:  The foam is closed cell, so no it wouldn’t soak in. Toilet should be caulked to the floor anyway, so water from the floor shouldn’t be able to get under the toilet base anyway. Simple installation, and totally trouble free to date.

A:  Depends on toilet flange position relative to floor level. 

A:  No seal, wax or otherwise is rated to prevent a backflow leak. These are not high pressure seals and are merely meant to keep water from seeping out. All seals will fail if the back flow is strong enough.

A:  The foam is nonpermeable like the wax ring so it should not smell, but under the toilet may get a smell from the residue left from the overflow.
