Excellent video! One of the most articulately explaned videos i've seen!
appreciate that
Good job. Love danco products
The only video in TH-cam that did it right other than the manufacturer
Mine wasn’t leveled afterwards but no leaks, should I pull it out and check again?
I appreciate that. Too many experts preaching on what’s the right way😉
I mean if no leaks you should be fine . Do a few test flushes etc before caulking around the bottom. To be sure. That’s all.
@@HowToWithLech yeah I flushed it many times and came back to check it, no leaks whatsoever but paranoid about internal leaking being the first time I do this.
@@ZeroColdx911 if leaked would come out from sides at some point. you're good
@@HowToWithLech thanks!
Nice video, and thanks for lifting the toilet to answer the question I had about seal alignment.
Glad to help 👍
Good job, just moved to a new home and wanted to change from the small round toilet to taller enlongated bowl and of course I find the plastic flange is cracked..
I unscrewed the 4 screws on the flange but not sure if its rubber cemented as the flange looks like it slides over the pipe rather than sit inside of it. I also so i dont wana fk things up so im going to use this kit..
Hopefully my 2 upstairs toilets go smoother, i never have luck on a straight forward repair, always have to fix something else 1st before continuing my initial repairs.. cant ever catch a break.
Thanks. Hope all works out for you. It’s always something
The instructions say to put a wax ring below the DANCO hydroseat..
Yes below it. Not on top
you should use another wax ring on the toilet flange, for sure.......no leaks...
hi. for this product, the wax ring goes under the hydroseat only. no wax ring between the seat and the hydroseat. thats what the rubber is for. it will not leak if installed level and properly. did a few of these. never seen an issue. :) thanks
@@HowToWithLech Agree! I will try your way and other guy's instruction.
The plastic washers say "This side up", that way the caps click into place.
👍
Good video for sure. Easy to follow.
Thanks
it's required the wax unless u want leaks and sewer gases
Wax only goes under it per mfr. but should work if you wish to put on top too
@@HowToWithLech ok
What size screws do you use to screw the thing to the floor? Aren't you concerned with the everbuilt that the plastic piece will fall into your pipe?
3” I think what I used. Yiu mean from wax ring? Nahh that’s solid in place
It would have been nice if you had done a dry fit of the two surfaces to see what what the junction of the toilet horn and the rubber gasket would be. Also, the ceramic horn is not a finished surface, it is rough and uneven. Over time it could damage the rubber gasket.
It would be prudent to put a wax ring on the toilet horn to ensure at least a vapor seal, and maybe a liquid one as well.
I would shape the wax to lubricate the horn as it settles into the rubber gasket.
Yeah I should have shown the dry fit. Good point. Maybe future video 👊
But as per mfr. no wax ring between it and the bowl.
Do you not have to put another wax ring around the bowl and the flange
noahs 2nd channel if you’re using hydro seat kit you don’t put a wax ring between it and the toilet bowl. The bowl sits right on it... make sure it’s mounted on top of tiles so it’s high enough for bowl to go into it ...Same with floor no wax ring needed , but i did between the floor and hydroseat just Incase..
According to Danco, wax ring under the flange. If you got lucky on the exact gap, maybe you could do without.
@@HowToWithLech I saw one of the instructions, you are right.
th-cam.com/video/QChjl06JgeE/w-d-xo.html
So is it best to put a wax ring under the repair kit like you did and on the bottom of the toilet?
Yeah. You need to usually. None on top tho. Toilet sits on the rubber ring
The new flange allows for the opportunity to make sure the flange is perfectly squared up with the wall. I did not see that step in the video.
Yup. Just have to line it up.
How can you tell if the toilet is seated on there right ?
Somewhat. If not sure, Try to do with 2 people so can watch when putting down. Or outline where toilet is to be. Before I seal or screw down fully. Flush a couple times to make sure no leak.
How did you raise it up is that wood?
Yeah, strips of wood and some liquid nails. Used what i had handy. worked fine. Normally you can tile closer and mount on top of the tile. Its another option.
@@HowToWithLech thank you ill most likely get some wood, that way it will be level. Thank you very much for your help!
I wouldn't use wood. I would drill to the concrete or tiles.
What is the white material around the pipe?
Drain pipe?
@@HowToWithLech Yes. It looks like caulk. Thanks for responding back.
@@HowToWithLech I think they mean the toilet flange
You do need wax ring
Under it yes. I would recommend checking mfr. instructions. Only way we'll use it properly :)
What ???? No Wax ring . Fired
I have used a Danco without a wax ring for the record. All depends on your gap or lack of one.
👍
Easy to install, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Yes sir 👊
Nice apple tee
Ha thanks. So comfy
shouldn't you have repaired that hole behind the toilet and that vent before installing the toilet?it would've been easier.
yup, got filled in later, before i put molding on.
No gloves is diabolical
🤣
Someone didn’t read the instructions 😂😂 u need a wax ring on top bruh . Read the dam box 😂😂😂👍👍
nope dont need on top. thats what the rubber connection is for. i put wax ring under only. check hope depot direction, or mfr. no wax ring on top. works perfect. thanks.
Looks like Brucie B didn’t actually read the directions. I have one of these kits and have watched the videos from the manufacturer. Both state that the wax ring goes beneath the kit, not above it. That’s part of the appeal of this kit, you don’t have to replace the wax ring every time you need to remove or decide to replace the toilet.
@@evabobeva77 nice. thanks for sharing and knowing the product. you would only replace the wax ring below it if you remove the flange, as it can be damaged after being moved etc. safer to replace. but if only changing toilet bowl and not removing the kit, you are fine. thanks for watching and sharing with all.
I just installed mine over the corroded and broken flange the other night. Had to drill into my concrete subfloor, which was a little challenging, but I got it done and the toilet is level, sturdy, and no leaks! Should be good for a while until I want to go through the trouble and expense of replacing the flange.
@@evabobeva77 nice. great work
