2 YEAR FOLLOW-UP to Toilet Flange Fix / Also, Compare Different Toilet Seals
Просмотров 487 тыс.4 года назад
Previously, I made a video showing my toilet flange fix. It was a rusty, off-level and unsupported toilet flange. I went far and above what anyone would normally do to fix it, but in the comments I was told by professional plumbers that I didn't repair it correctly. Maybe they were right. In this video, I pull up my toilet two years later to see if my flange repairs held up. Who was right - the...
Toilet Flange with Many Problems - FIXED! - The Meticulous Hack
Просмотров 641 тыс.7 лет назад
I hacked away at this awful looking toilet flange to get it to behave. It was out of level, badly rusted and had no support.
LOL....nah....I like doing it myself. Like to learn how to do things for myself.
Great idea, and inventive with how you set it up, with the power button and it looks like a real window. This is great for people who are stuck in some basement or place that has no windows, and there are places that have no windows.....but this is a great idea to make one feel like it's a window, I like rainy storm videos on youtube, they are 10 hours long and some have country sounds or wind chimes, you name it, there is a storm for you! Then there are also beach videos of the waves and the sun, it's beautiful and relaxing to have on your tv. On your's it would look like you lived on the beach! I like that.
I love the tips Marty!
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
This is why I am leaning towards using Benjamin Moore. If anything they would know what the old color was exactly and find how to make it right with whatever new product they would carry.
I hear it's the best quality paint, I guess that's true for their stain as well.
I would never use a plastic flange
You got that right you’re doing it yourself it doesn’t matter if it takes you 3 times as long. The price is right. A plumber would cost you a hundred bucks just to look at it. Long as it does the job That’s all that matters
You are meticulous! Followed!
great ideal. Im going to do this with a live 4k tv and 4k camera for a live view
That's a great idea. I'd love to know how it works out. Good luck with it. You can always make the window horizontal if that makes the video transfer easier.
DIY Woody Allen?
CLEVELAND. . .maybe. . .
Ha, yeah, definitely Cleveland
I like your style
Really enjoyed your comments, good vid
Much appreciated!
I've all the ingredients & excitedly looking forward to making this evening. Salude 🍷🍷
There's a full video of the recipe on my Marty the Pasta Guy channel. Thanks
You hella funny lol
Hahahaha!! "Your not gonna do it" 😂
Do the best job you can with the tools you have.
28 Oz is almost exactly 800 gramm
This was the video series I was looking for during my toilet replacement. Thanks for the thorough descriptions and negative Nancy plumber busting!
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
You should’ve set the toilet in plaster and that would take care of your problem
Sounds nuts. Had to look it up.
Aren't you being a bit anal?
Solid stains are great toll their not. They last a yaar longer but are a mess to get off when you need to re apply.
I haven't tried to re-apply yet. What about a light sanding and then applying the same color stain?
After 3 years I have had the thin horn flange on the Fluidmaster collapse in and thus restrict the flow. They need to use harder material. The thick green one is too thick for most toilets. I use a Korky instead of the fluidmaster.
Yeah, I did a follow-up to this video two years later and the Fluidmaster was in bad shape.
2:40 was that a double wax seal? 11:01 the word is "elongated". Nice socks!
Yes, it was double wax.
@@MartyPollio yes sir, thank you 🤓
This is the guy from dazed and confused that was friends with the red head! He got in a fight at the party lol
Adam Goldberg? He wishes he had hair like me.
I like the way you think & try different things outside the box. Learned a lot about what to watch out for when replacing the (wax) ring under the toilet in your video.
Thanks, appreciate the compliment. Before you replace your wax ring, you may want to watch my follow-up video to this one: ruclips.net/video/KS0FJmLMrYY/видео.htmlsi=Roo0sc5o4pP9tkwV
how did you mixx the cement just Portland ? & sand 1 to 3 part sand will that work I am doing the same thing only different
@johnbowers8388 It was Surecrete glass fiber reinforced terrazzo mix. I mixed it with glass chips. I didn't put any sand in it.
@@MartyPollio I am pouring a bout 1 1/2 2 by 2 pad to raise the toilet some think that wood work ?
@@johnbowers8388 I'm not the right person to answer that question. I struggle with plumbing work.
@@MartyPollio thanks I like that countertop
Wax is the best 💯
Bigger technological advances in bludgeonry. LOL No doubt you are right about that. Thanks for the review of rubber seals. I feel a little more confident in my selection of Flowmaster last week. had no idea you could stack these. I may need a second one. I was afraid to fill the toilet and try it, but I’m reminded the whole point of this kind is I can fill it, flush, empty and look at what it did. Thanks!
I did a follow-up review (video) of the seal I used. You may want to check it out because it didn't hold up that well after two years. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/KS0FJmLMrYY/видео.html
I bought and tried to use the fluidmaster better than wax seal when attempted my first every install of an American Titan Standard toilet. The flange was slightly above the floor and the toilet was wobbly. It never balanced so I was forced to use the wax ring that it came with. Sucks to have spent 10x more than a wax ring. I would say the wax ring is more DIY friendly and easier to use.
Brilliant , thank you
Dude u funny as F. I will watch the ending of this video nightly before prayers.
Marty, you are a hoot! Good ideas from your video. I am setting up in a large conference room and have decided just to forget the fancy stuff and put in a new outlet for power and a component plate like yours using keystone jacks. I will be using a low voltage frame instead of a box - no need to cut off the back end and very easy to get at everything. Also is up to code and low voltage doesn't require full box. You had me chuckling a lot.
I didn't know about low voltage frames when I made this video. Another thing I didn't know is that wrapping your wires in aluminum foil will keep them from interfering with each other. That was told to me by an old auto electrician. Thanks for watching, Rick.
I'm Pro Catapult. Great Video!
Thank you.
You definitely inspired me to try this. I'll take your advice on skipping out on the cement counter attempt although it looks good.
I never caulk the toilet to the floor.
That caulk I use isn't silicone. It's easy to remove, and I don't caulk around the back of it.
@@MartyPollioDecidedly good that you leave the back side uncaulked. I used the Better Than Wax and my flange was even with the floor. The spacer they said to use made the toilet too high so I just used the main blue seal. Does not seem to be leaking (only been a few days). I wish I would have thought to cut the spacer down, as suggested in another person's video, but it was wrecking my back to fit and refit the toilet. Time will tell.
Some of these adapters have a hole too small if my shit folds. Garbage products.
I just did a seal 6 times 2 seals didn't work then did another one .then put old one back in .still leaked then got a wax less one it was too big then got a 3 inch an it fit so I used a wax then a flange an put wax less on top .with no leaks .😮😊
Bummer. I wouldn't be able to rest because I'd be thinking that it was going to start leaking any minute.
After a week taking that toilet bowl off an on 6 times actually 12 times off an on .I got it to stop leaking on.last try with black wax less seal an wax on bottom .iam done with it 😊 also had to catch water in buckets an used a kiddie pool to catch water coming though basement It was a nightmare 😮
I really enjoy how laid back you are about everything. We could all learn something from you!
You don't need me, you've got those spliffs :)
I just finish having a new house built by so called custom home builder who hires only the best professionals. The plumbers, electricians, painters, framers and all the tradesmen were awful, horrible, terrible, sloppy and unprofessional. I would not want any of them back even if it was covered under warrantee. I'm not as fastidious as you but know good work when I see it. I can do better work then the jerk offs who act like they are doing me a favor when they hacked there way through my build. I have learned a new disrespect for anyone who tells me they do construction.
And it especially sucks when they send out young guys. I only do work for myself, family and friends, but I always tell people that there is a slim chance they could hire a tradesman who would do the kind of work I do. The electrical journeyman I trained under when I was in my 20's did perfect work, but it's just really rare. The electrical work I see that was installed in houses built as few as 20 years ago looks like it was done by jackleg handymen.
I am back...wow...i don't even remember my old post. this time I am replacing my toilet for real. New toilet is sitting in the living room. I bought a Danco seal(has wax inside)...anyway just checking out some videos. I really like your videos...because you are an entertaining wild and crazy guy. Nice and weird. Who would not be dealing with poop.
That's an interesting seal. I didn't quite know what to think about that one. The opening was too small for my drain pipe, so I eliminated it because of that, but I probably would have picked it otherwise. Hope it works well for you.
thanks!
When are you posting the countertops video? They look very cool!
I still want to see the video about your countertops you made! They look so cool! 😊
Can we get an update please? Did u switched it like u said u was
No, not yet. The window has been useful - I've been using it in the background of my recipe videos (channel name: Marty the pasta guy).
Back to wax 😂
My BIG complaint about plumbers (and the same is true of *many* trades) is that they are completely dogmatic AND they repeat the crap they have heard as they were taught. Yes, there are right and wrong ways to do something, but they label anything different from how they do it as wrong.
Yep, I'd have to agree with that 100 percent.
Entertaining video. Decisions are made with the bottom line in mind. Just replaced a rusted out flange myself. I've set a few toilets over the years. Double wax rings always seems to work.
Subscribed and Liked. I think you are hilarious and obviously a thorough person. That's rare in this world of dummies. I see you take it to an obsessive level though, which can hurt oneself, because it's like no matter what you do, there is that question of redo. If you want relief from that energy, look into sidereal (vedic) astrology. It is the planet Rahu. You may have Moon and Rahu together. A remedy would be listening or chanting Moon or Rahu mantra.
INTERVIEWER: How did you first get into astrology and Buddhism? ME: Well, it all started with my toilet...
Thanks for subscribing and for your advice. I've been making Italian recipe videos lately (Marty the pasta guy is my channel name) and my OCD stuff is making it really tough. I'm not good at meditation or believing in ...anything, but I searched the things you mentioned on RUclips.
@@MartyPollio Haha about the toilet. I know the energy all too well, I have it myself. Extreme perfectionist. It's bit me in the butt a few times, one time with a $7,000 Yellow Sapphire. I wanted it perfect and it went from 3.5 carats to 2.8. Now valued at about $4,000 because of the weight loss. And it's still not perfect. Probably the biggest mistake I had in recutting a gemstone. lol. It's like that energy of.. I want it perfect JUST A LITTLE MORE. LITTLE MORE. LITTLE MORE. <Sweating>. LITTLE MORE. $*@#. I'm in no way sponsored by these people but I do prefer these planetary mantras. You may have a different taste. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of different styles of the same mantra on youtube. I find this one really helps calm the nerves. It is a mantra to Moon!!! And today is Moon's day. (Monday). ruclips.net/video/JlkzZMUG0D4/видео.html
@@darkstar3246 Thanks for the link. I fell asleep to it two nights ago. Quite nice.
@@MartyThePastaGuy Nice. By the way, I forgot to mention, just so you know-- the translation of the words into English (straight from Mahakatha company PDF translation pamphlet) is "I restore perfect cosmic balance with Chandra (Moon) so my life may be blessed." Good luck on your journey out there. I'll check in on your page in the future to see if I find anymore useful videos. I'm about to try and set my first toilet. I had to take the floor out of one of my bathrooms that had gotten mold in it from water leaking from my RO system underneath the vanity. Took that all out, TONS of mold. The flooring had it underneath too, so I replaced the subfloor. The flange was cast iron and all weirdly cockied, so I had a plumber come in and cut it off. I planned on putting tile in so he said go ahead and put the hardibacker board in and NOT the finished floor, and he would set the new flange. Well, that was all accomplished but now after doing a lot of research online it seems the flange should only be set on TOP of the finished floor. I'm feeling pretty upset. Not to mention I had to redo the subfloor myself because I had construction guys come in and work on the door near it/subfloor and they put in a new subfloor but cut around the cast iron flange so large that there was nothing left for the flange to be screwed into. The plumber said, "You have to lay a new subfloor" or brace it from underneath. Well it's a small bathroom and I don't want things all rigged up. I wanted a nice subfloor. So I ripped the work up and just bought the tools and replaced the subfloor around the toilet flange myself with only a 1/8th gap between the pipe and the subfloor so that the flange could be screwed down properly. And now said plumber seems to give me the wrong information on how the flange should be set, after of course I already paid and he's long gone. It seems it MIGHT be ok if the flange is level with the finished floor with an extra thick wax ring but it seems it is not idea. I have this kind of issue time and time again. It may take me a week worth of research but in the end if I just do it myself, it ends up like a real professional job should be done, instead of most of today's 'professionals' that just slap things together.
Thanks Marty for sharing your experiences with us. I was leaning towards Danco perfect seal but now, I think I'll go with a good old wax ring. Do it right first time and be done with it. Thanks again!
The most common wax rings are made of petroleum. The better ones are made of beeswax, but I'm not sure where you can find them ...may have to order one. Thanks for watching.
BROTHER THERE IS NOT WAY YOU ARE STUPID AT ALL ...DON'T TALK LIKE THAT ABOUT YOUR SELF .... THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO AND YOU ARE SUPER RIGHT ABOUT IT THEY SHOULD GIVE US OPTIONS I MEAN THERE IS SOLAR PANEL SPACESHIPS WITH TOUCH SCREEN DEVICES TO KEEP AN HUMAN HEART A LIVE FOR 72 HOURS OR MORE READT TO TRANSPLANT .. HOW VOME THE TOILETTE STIL SO PRIMITIVE YOU ARE SO RIGHT. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO .
Thanks for the comment. It's definitely primitive, but at least it lasts a long time. It's a very basic machine that works and it's cheap, but yeah, it seems like we outta have other more sophisticated options by now.
