![]() ![]() Also forget about them rubber gaskets for the cast iron pipe, lead and oakum is the only way to do it right. ![]() You want to cut into a cast iron stack and isntall a clean out tee or a wye branch, do not use ferncos, get your hands on a sission fitting. Good old Copper, galvinized, cast iron, and clay pipes. ![]() I always beleive the old ways are better than all this new stuff they keep coming out with. Heck he still preferred the old fiber rings for the wall hung water closets over the neoprene ones. Old man Delaney (my sponsor) hated wax rings. I have reset many water closets this way. Hey guys, just because I was an apprentice under a plumber that learned back in the 30's and used terms like " Its colder than a well diggers hip" and such, doesn't mean it doesn't work. I tried it before the fluidmaster and it didn't work. I also tried the one where there is very flimsy plastic with the wax - very similar to what the op shows in the picture. This is why I went to the fluidmaster - it is a plastic funnel that Gary seems to deride but it does work - at least in my situation. I can also vouch for what Gary wrote about double stacking wax eventually leaking. A very simple fix compared to working on the flange. You don't compress or rock the toilet because there is no wax. You can see it on the home depot website under toilet maintenance & repair. They have two o-rings in the package, 1 for 3 inch and another for 4 inch waste lines. I use it on 2 toilets and I haven't had a problem in 3 years using this product. He uses it so it can be reused as he changes toilets for testing and avoid the mess of the wax but I use it because my flange is too low. I would try the fluidmaster gasket that Terry uses. ![]()
