What happens here

In this step, the demonstrator actively applies pressure to the elastic wax ring, compressing it between the plexiglass sheet and the toilet flange. The ring visibly deforms and flattens, demonstrating its high degree of flexibility and elasticity. This action highlights how the ring can conform to the toilet's base and the flange during installation.

Goal: Witness the elastic properties of the wax ring under compression.

Tools and materials

  • Elastic Wax Ring — Being compressed to show flexibility
  • Plexiglass — Allowing visual inspection during compression
  • Toilet Flange — Providing a surface against which the ring is compressed

What they say

So I came over here and they actually had a little demo set up going on. And so this is what we wanted to show you. Check this out. This is a completely elastic wax ring. And you can see he's got it set up here with a piece of plexiglass and a flange and the movement is awesome. It's just going right back to its original shape. What do you guys think about this? How cool is it?
