Here’s where he’s really mistaken- two wax rings is too much. If it’s very far below the floor the proper fix is to raise the flange, not pile up a bunch of wax. I use them if the flange is just slightly below the floor and the customer doesn’t want to pay me to raise the flange unless they have to. Jumbo wax rings are a solid product- they are just 40% more wax than a standard.

If it will compress more, consider getting one with a flange to limit wax extrusion into the drainage path.The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. If it will compress less, you need a taller ring. The wax ring should be compressed around 1/2 to 3/4 it's initial height once installed. Adjust this measurement by how high or low the floor flange surface is from finished floor. You can estimate which height ring is needed and if a flange is a good idea or not by placing a straight edge along the base of the inverted toilet and measuring from the straight edge to the ceiling of the toilet base. Thus, it's not something you want to use unless there's a good chance you'll need it. This is why double height rings are often sold with flanges, the flange keeps the wax out of the drainage path.īut the flange itself is a bit smaller than the outlet pipe, so it forms a bit of an obstruction itself.

But if you use a tall ring without the flange on a properly spaced toilet installation, excess wax will be squeezed into the drainage path, causing an undesirable obstruction. Toilets with more than normal spacing will need a taller ring to achieve a proper seal. Under ideal conditions, the standard ring is just a bit too tall so that it compresses just enough to form a good seal without squeezing out into the drainage path and causing an obstruction. How tall the ring is depends on how close the toilet's outlet horn is to the flange.
