Shut off water and completely drain/flush tank.When moving toilet out and back in, it is critical not to damage the connection between tank and toilet!(Do not twist tank from toilet or you can start up a bogus leak!)2-person job moving toilet out and placing in.Enough said about the fragile toilet!After you (gently!) remove toilet, carefully clean underneath where it attaches to floor flange.Also clean bolt holes.Nice to have cardboard or rags to park toilet on.Oh yeah, wear nitrile gloves!Clean flange coming up out of floor.Before you clean flange, stuff a rag down drain and don't let anything drop in; not even the old wax!You have to clean it completely!Flange coming out might be level with floor; below or above.This determines whether you use thick black gasket, thin black gasket or both!But you must use at least the thin 1.When you hook bolts into sides of flange, hold on! They can drop down bottomless pit!Use white plastic holds to keep bolts in place; dont let bolts fall down hole! It's painful.Remember to bring rag out of drain, minding not to let anything drop in.(Gently!) Put in bodacious plastic housing through the bolt holes.Now's the time for black foam gasket(s) to go on top.What did you decide?There's pretty good instructions in a couple languages for making this choice. Video is good.(Gently!) Lower toilet back with bolts going through holes.Put washers and nuts on.Tighten with the idea that too much will crack your toilet!But yes use wrench or something.Toilet will rock a bit until you tighten it down.Very important!Caulk the crack between toilet and floor, but not the back 25%.This is so you will see leak if there's ever an issue.Filling in crack up front will secure it tightly for years to come and will seal out scuz, making it easier to keep clean.Hook back up and hang around for a bit while you cycle some flushes.Any leaks?No?I told you that you can do it!

This was fairly easy to install. My flange was right at the divide between the thick spacer and thin spacer measurement, but the thick spacer kept it off the floor, so I used the thinner spacer. After install and securing the bolts it seemed to work fine. No more smell or leaks. After 30 days, it is still working perfectly. The hardest part of installation was removing all the old, stinky, contaminated wax. I will never use another wax seal on a toilet.

This product saves a lot of time.. There is no fuss when installing this, especially if you have to jiggle and move the toilet around to line it up.. When you move the toilet around with a wax seal you damage the seal and the toilet will leak.. With this Korky Seal you can move the toilet around and you don't damage the integrity of the seal... I would buy this item again for any more toilet jobs... I am happy with my purchase...

The Korky Wax-free Rubber Seal is worth every penny. The installation was straightforward and easy. I tested the seal after installation and then lifted the bowl again to check for leakage and it was dry. If it was a wax ring, it would have to be replaced again. The worst part of the job was scraping and cleaning up the mess of the old wax ring. I recommend rubber gloves and a surgical mask for that part of the job. I am glad that I will not have to face that again. I am not going back to wax.

My installation is replacing a failed wax ring for a toilet setting on a tile floor. The flange is cast iron and sits about 1/4" below the tile floor. This toilet develops a slight rock, even when caulked. That combined with routine plunging of the toilet results in a life expectancy of 3-4 years for wax rings. So, this was not my first experience with this job or this toilet. After removing the toiled and the old wax ring I dried the area under and around the flange with a hair drier to reduce potential rusting of the flange.Per the instructions for a flange located below the floor, I installed the full set of foam seals (layers are removed when the flange is flush with or above the floor). Set the toilet on the new seal and secured it to the floor using the enclosed replacement closet bolts and hardware. I snugged the nuts tight enough to seat the seal, but left them loose enough to apply a thin bead of caulk between the toilet and the tile. Connected the water line and flushed the toilet four to five times to check for leaks, there were none. Applied a bead of caulk and snugged up the nuts enough to prevent the toilet from rocking, while avoiding overtightening. For me, installation was straight forward and there were no surprises. If you have not done this job before, there are plenty of videos on the web that will guide you through the process. The manufacture even has a video on installing this product. The instructions are clear, I am familiar with job, so I did not bother with the video.Regarding seal quality, there were no apparent manufacturing defects and build quality appeared good. Product is Made in the USA.. We have two toilets in the house. Baring any unexpected problems with the current product, I will use the same product when replacing the remaining wax seal. If I do have problems with the product in the future, I will update this review.
