Danco Perfect Seal Toilet Wax Ring Replacement and Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2017
- Used the Danco Next Perfect Seal wax ring. I like this wax ring because you are able to re position the toilet if needed. The job was very simple the hardest part is lifting it off and onto the flange. Basic hand tools is all you need to complete the job.

This tutorial brought to you by the king himself! Elvis has left the commode!
The perfect seal works fine. My flange was on ceramic tile. Thanks for the informative video. I had to buy a balance clip to keep my toilet from rocking forward.
Excellent DIY video. Much easier to follow you than the dang old directions that came with it. You rock! Thank you for sharing.
Great video. About to attempt this tomorrow!
Muchas gracias maestro por realizar este instructivo vídeo de enseñanza de plomería!
The toilet seat cover is amazing 😅 thank you for the advice!! Great vid.
Always used a wax ring before but after this I’m hooked it was toooo easy.
Thanks for the video. Good stuff. For anybody who is doing this - I would also suggest placing a cup into the pipe after you remove the toilet. It will keep the sewer gases from coming back up into your face. And trust me - you'll know it when it happens. If you're not going to be doing this all at once you'll want the cup in there. A Styrofoam cup or any plastic cup that's lying around in your car from the convenience store works great.
If you use the same seal (new) he used, does it help with sealing the top of the seal to the bottom of the toilet by putting a small amount - a light coat / layer of wax either on the area of the bowl where the seal makes contact, or on top of the seal? Debating on which seal to use
Ty for the tutorial. Worked great 👍
thank you so much for this video.... just installed mine... it helped me out a lot... thank you again :)
Love the 2x4 mounding 😀
Greg Don the trim is 1x3 strips.
Thanks. A useful review before doing the deed.
Thanks
Used this to fix leaking 20 year old toilet in house with really messed up plumbing dating back to the 1930s. It sealed correctly and is still working fine. I will use this product again.
Watch a few different how-to videos first and read the instructions a couple of times BEFORE proceeding. It helps.
Mine is still doing fine
Thank you, grits☺
A good idea is to replace the cork/silicone gasket between the tank and bowl while you have the toilet dry.
Thanks! Great idea for sure to use these!
@- - We install it for 2 years now. Best thing we have done. Also, they are " High Quality Rubber ", how can they rot?
Are use the perfect seal three years ago to install 30 year old toilet no leaks works great.
Did the Danco seal come with new closet/ jonny bts? Great video! Thank you
Nice custom seat.
Just installing this now. There is a blue adapter that comes with the kit. If your flange is above or level with the floor, then you do not need the adapter. If however your flange is recessed or below the floor, then you should use the blue adapter. Mine is level, so no adapter.
Have you had any leaks?
So far so good.
@@paflyfish awesomeness, thanks.
Bravo my friend, I'm in need of a new toilet and wax ring myself. How about you come and install mine. Ha ha. Thanks for the video and for sharing your knowledge.
How do you think this will work on an older lead flange? My flanges even with the ceramic tile may be slightly higher however, between the flange and the ceramic tile is the subfloor that has cracks in it so I laid some adhesive caulk in there, so that if there's a breach in the seal water wouldn't go down the cracks.
Thanks bud!
Awsom Dave
That product really works,way better than wax ring
I agree 100%
Holding up great no leaks I won't use and regular wax ring ever again.
Still good?
@@yuuusukee still good no leaks
@@leetnessgaming9751 yes still keeping the poo and pee where it belongs.
Thanks for sharing this
Hard to tell, is the flange level with the floor?
hey how is the seal holding up ?
Thinking about using this but putting some silicon on top of the grey part so the toilet is not just resting on the rubber top. It can't hurt!
Put a little safe gasket grease or O ring grease on the grey seal and the toilet horn will slide in easy ..if not the grey seal can bend when the horn makes contact with the seal and get a improper flush seal...u can do it while you have the toilet on it side u can tell how easy it slides with grease vs without it
I used KY
Use a Shop Vac to suck water out of toilet instead of sloshing it on the floor. Thanks for making this video.
That's a good idea, but even better is to flush to empty 95% of the tank as you would anyway... Then get a bucket of water and dump quickly into the bowl. That will flush it and siphon 95% all the water from the bowl down the drain. Then vet vac both.
Another thing to change while you're at it: the infamous "one-time use" water valve. They work when installed (like when the house is built), then never work properly again, plus they weep around the handle shaft and corrode. Do yourself a big favor and buy a quarter-turn valve. They actually shut off the water when they need to.
David I noticed on video explained that the rubber flange is to be screwed down to the floor in centered position. I noticed in this video the seal is loose and shifting. I had both of my wax ring seals fail due to the fact the wax seal was bumped and shifted to one side and was seeping. One resulted in water on the floor after 2 years the second one about 8 months.
Thank you.🙏🏿

🚽Regarding those 2 white plastic washer-like pieces that were under the nuts holding the toilet to the flange ring/floor. You stated you did not know what they are called or why they were there. Towards the end, after you set the toilet, you re-installed them and the nuts onto the 2 mounting bolts (Johnni-bolts). Those plastic/nylon pieces are there for you to put the Johnni-bolt covers back over the bolt/nut that stick up - holding the toilet to the floor.
After putting the cap over the bolt - push hard straight down - and you will feel & hear the cap snap-lock onto the nylon washer. That's what keeps those covers in place. Of course in your case (video) - we never saw any caps - so either you or previous owner never bothered to install the caps in the first place.
Now you know what those nylon/plastic "washers" are for. 🚽 🙂
How come you didn’t remove the black plastic inside?
How do you keep that type of wax ring from moving ?
Its not really a wax I say more like a heavy rubber like membrain that is pulled tight to the flange with the bolts.
@@davidreynolds5439 there is wax in the membrane. I used one and had to remove it. It’s just covered so you don’t see it but there is wax in there
This guy's an Elvis fan :)
Did u plumb the water line on the wrong side
+Peter Boissiere I did
Strikes me as the kinda guy who would install a regular wax ring and not take it out of the plastic it came in.
Their official video on this gasket set up says to remove that inner, black, round piece to allow the wax to set correctly. You didn't show that being done. Oddly enough, the instructions do not cover this as it did in their video though and neither did the instructions and photos on the box it was packaged in. This makes for an interesting question, as is it an unknown if that ring part needs to be removed or not when installing.
Correction to above. I did find the round plastic insert adapter noted in the instructions as #6, item D, after all. "If the toilet doesn't sit flush on the floor, then remove the black, round plastic insert (D) and reset.
a1930ford look
How has this product been lasting for you?
Been holding up great. No issues at all.
should you plug the hole so no stuff falls into the HOLE...........................
hows the product holding up three years later?
Still going good. Zero issues. Even after getting some foster girls and having all of thier friends over all the time. Still not issues. Even went under the house and looked around and no signs at all.
Used the perfect seal 3 years ago. Still working great. Zero leaks.
I didn't see you screw down the replacement flange over the broken one. Doesn't mean you didn't, just means I didn't see it if you did. Did you?
My left ear wants to join the party
Nice washroom!
Thank you.
Smart
did he not use the blue part?
No I did not need to use the blue ring since my flange was even with the floor
My floor sits like 1cm under the subfloor do I use the blue part?
I just picked up one of these new seals. Although it comes with its own Johnny bolts, I wouldn't recommend using them because they are plated steel and will rust/rot in time. Go to the hardware store and buy brass ones. Other than their bolts, this seal looks promising. I plan to use it in the future where a plumber gave me 2 wax rings instead of using a spacer or this product.
I also used silicone around the sides of the toilet
I dont like applying any type of caulking or silicone caulking around the base for 1 reason. It the wax ring would fail a leak could go undetected and cause damage to the subflooring. Thanks for the comment though. Please sub and share.
@@davidreynolds5439 I like to silicone or latex caulk only the front and sides (not all the way back) because it keeps fire-hose urine from going under while leaving the back open, so any bad toilet seal will cause visible water to pour out behind the toilet alerting you to a problem.
Someone was drunk when they roughed the toilet water line!
That’s a trailer bathroom I’ve remodeled a few of those before .
Not a trailer..
@@eduardomayoral2497 zero indication of a trailer bathroom. The original toilet was left handed you donkies.
I like to use DAP® SiliconeMax™ White Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing 100% Silicone Sealant - 2.8 oz. around the toilet except the very back of the toilet in case there is a leak in the Wax or Perfect Seal. This keeps the toilet from wiggling and from rotating left or right, and it looks good.
From Tennessee?
Nope. Southern Ohio.
for a minute there, i thought he was gonna take a poop
to show the toilet was working OK. glad i was wrong.
Oddly, my flange was also on top of the floor, but my toilet would not sit flat to the floor with this seal...
I'm a plumber and have installed hundreds of toilets successfully
did you use the danco product? your comment doesn't specify?
@@Kodobro ah, he thought it was a good time to brag . You know the type.
At the end of your video, you shoulda said "thank you very much "ala elvis presley and then 😀 did a rendition of...you ain't nuttin' but a hound dog, and love me tender 😃🤣👍
Greta video, I had accidentally poured a ham hock bone in the toilet. Luckily it got stuck in the pee trap. Using this flange to replace.
I need the full story here lol
@@614jacob2 i had made some red beans and rice and poured water in the pot to loosen the dry beans stuck to the pot but forgot i used a ham hock. I don't like using the garbage disposal alot so I pour things down the toilet and forgot the bone was in the pot. So when you pour water in a toilet it will automatically flush itself sometimes and by the time i noticed it, the toilet had already flushed 😳
so do this
I got the one with bolts kit
Why are you calling the rubber ring wax?
+cooldog60
Old habit.
The Danco Perfect Seal actually has wax in that bottom part, covered by the rubber.
Its has wax in the bottom
(1:00) Very clearly states it is a WAX ring right on the box.
The first time I did this I was so drunk I faced the toilet the wrong way
Yeah, and you probably sat on it......bass ackwards 😃🤣😂
I used this product.against my better judgement, because i dont really like experimenting .. and it failed !!!! now im replacing sheetrock in my kitchen. Ill stick with the wax rings which has been just fine forever and cheaper
With or without the funnel?
5:37 Skipped right over the hardest part.
What was the hardest part?
@@davidreynolds5439 The part you skipped. Setting the toilet. Hard to line up both sides at the same time when you can't see them.
Jesus Christ how bout getting the correct length supply line
Lift the toilet off, place it away, and then flush. That's what my pops did when we did the toilet high
Instructions say not to use tools.
just put the same seal in, we'll see.
Medsger
My plumber eats hambuger during breaktime without clean hands... OMG.
And he's probably not been sick a day in his life.
Gloves! Use gloves when removing toilet.
DuDe? why did you re-peat the video in the middle? thumbs down.
Probably trying to get it long enough for a commercial $$$
Fukin gloves man , I am a plumber and never I mean never work with out gloves .
You just had to state the obvious. You have forget you gloves once before
It’s his own brand...no gloves required lol
