What happens here

Carefully place a new wax ring onto the drain opening in the floor or directly onto the base of the toilet. Position the toilet over the floor flange bolts and gently lower it into place, ensuring the wax ring creates a perfect seal. It should be a snug fit without excessive movement. Install the washers and nuts onto the flange bolts and tighten them down evenly, making sure not to overtighten and crack the ceramic. Reconnect the water supply line to the toilet and turn on the water. Check for any leaks.

Goal: Replace the old wax ring with a new one and carefully reattach the toilet to the floor flange, ensuring a secure and leak-free seal.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Wrench
  • New Wax Ring (with or without flange)
