Questions and Answers for SANI SEAL TOILET GASKET Toilet Gasket Flexible Waxless Seal - Universal Fit

A:  absolutely true! Don't waste your time if it's flange is more than 1/8" above the finished floor.

A:  They are indeed both right. The gasket has a 3/4" range in which it will seal. If you are more than 3/8 under the finished floor they can be stacked, same as wax ring, only better.

A:  Mine was just standard install.

A:  I installed mine with a flange that is 1/4" above the floor and it sealed fine.

A:  That sounds about right to me. It’s a big foam sponge so it will compress if the flange is higher than the floor and expand if it’s below the floor. Mine failed after 2 years.

A:  This is NOT better than wax. Wax free is NOT the way to go. I've tried multiple wax free products, including this one, and I've had leaks and water damage from each installation. It may last a couple of years, depending on the toilet, (regular vs. jet flush) but eventually they WILL LEAK. This is why on most forums, professional plumbers will NOT recommend ever using a wax free seal and will always recommend using a wax ring. Whether you use one wax ring or two will depend on how level your flange sits on your floor but whatever you do, if you are contemplating trying out a new toilet seal, do yourself a favor and go with a good old fashion, inexpensive, wax ring. You'll be set for the next decade or two. Hope this helps someone out there. Good luck!

A:  So far this product is working as good as a wax seal with the piece of mind it has a lifetime warranty!

A:  If installed with center pushed down in middle to look like a funnel it works great for me...

A:  easier to install not sure if better.

A:  I assume you mean better than a wax seal? If so, I think so: 1. is easier to install correctly. just flip the extension down and place over the flange bolts, then set toilet in place. 2. compresses without deforming so should handle any toilet movement better.

A:  The seal will not feel tight like a wax ring.at a 1/4 to 1/2 you should be fine. I would put one down and see how far above the floor it sits.

A:  one green gasket should work .

A:  Only need one it is thick and will compress to whatever size you need

A:  The packaging indicates the rings can be stacked. The recommended range is the flange 3/8" below the floor to no more then 1/4" above the finished floor. How far below the finished floor is the toilet flange?

A:  Follow the directions in the gasket package. Mike

A:  As long as you have a round flange in the floor it will work

A:  It should work. This works just like a wax ring but better.

A:  Yes, this will fit your round and elongated toilet bowl.

A:  yes that what I used the green gasket on a new elongated commode ..

A:  It should

A:  If your wall mounted toilet uses a wax ring gasket, then yes, you can use this instead.

A:  No reason it shouldn't work, as long as the closet flange and the toilet outlet aren't recessed more than 3/4" total.

A:  sure

A:  Depends on the size of the flange and how it's affixed to the wall and waste pipe

A:  Should work fine with 2" flap in inside ring area. New ring lacks that.

A:  You should have no trouble using this on your old 5 inch system. Since the bolts that hold the toilet are still the same dimensions it should work just fine. And the bast part is you don't need to worry about ho thick of a wax ring to get since it conforms to the toilet perfectly. I hope this help you out, And Good Luck. Dwayne

A:  Yup. Im a plumber and these "donuts" are probably one of the greatest plumbing inventions ever. The area where I live has houses on slab with exactly what you are describing. Works like a charm everytime.

A:  No it is the standard 3 inch.

A:  4" inside diameter of the actual PVC or Cast Iron Pipe. The closet flange measures more than this, as the pipe fits into this flange and the 4" pipe measures more than that on its outside. I've never encountered a 5" pipe used for a toilet in over 40 years of experience.

A:  I don't know. In any case, I do not recommend the unit. After installation I was unable to keep the toiled from wobbling no matter how much I tightened the bolts. I went back to the wax ring. No problem.

A:  Yes, this can be installed on a wall mounted toilet.

A:  I would use this before I would use another type of seal.

A:  yes

A:  Yes, if the depth of the flange below the floor is at about 3/8 of an inch or more it is a good idea to stack two wax-less seals together. You can always take one out or tighten it slightly more if you need to, but if you need to add one later it could have created a leak in the meantime.

A:  Greetings 90815, Please note in the product overview, it states "easy to stack". There is great value in reading the specifications and product overview on any product offered by HomeDepot. Good luck.

A:  I def would not stack these up. It would not form a better seal. It is foam/rubber, so it would not mold to your liking, it is not wax/ pliable.

A:  Yes, they can be stacked per the manufacturer's website.

A:  You don't want to go too high with them as that would cause other problems such as wobble. I have had the waxless ring on for three months now with no problem. If you're flange is level to the flooring and you put two gaskets on you will be putting more pressure on the flange bolts and if you don't tighten them down correctly, the toilet could crack. Two gaskets are used when the flange is below the floor. Good luck.

A:  It absolutely will.

A:  yes

A:  It may be a little thick. My flange was maybe a 1/2 inch below the floor surface and the toilet took some pressure to get it down to the floor to tighten the hold downs. The foam is a little dense and takes more pressure to compress than say foam cushions in your furniture.

A:  Yes. For a detailed answer you can go to their YouTube Channel. I was skeptical at first Stan, but it's been about 2 months now and no failure. I've had wax rings fail and it's not pretty. Good luck

A:  Generally NO.

A:  No, do not use any chemicals on a waxless gasket. Do yourself a HUGE favor and install a regular wax ring. You can use the cleaning chemicals you need to use and you won't have to worry about a leak and water damage THAT WILL transpire when you install a waxless seal.

A:  Any corrosive chemical will eventually break down this gasket. Most cleaners have some derivative of chlorine

A:  Yes

A:  Those types of chemicals may be the reason that mine completely began to disintegrate

A:  When you install the toilet, are you using a bead of calk around the base? if so then it should not present a problem. If not, It should not present a problem. I really don't understand your question. If you mean can you pull up the toilet and clean the flange? (which according to the manufacturer is not necessary).
