What happens here

Put on a pair of gloves. Unpack the wax ring and place it directly onto the secured flange, centering it over the drain opening. Press down gently on the wax ring and give it a slight twist to help it adhere to the flange. Then, use your gloved finger to spread and smooth the wax around the outer edge where it meets the flange, ensuring a good initial seat.

Goal: Place the wax ring

What they say

Hide

You can see that flange is completely secured. It's locked down and going nowhere and it's setting on the finished floor. Now we're ready for a wax ring. So with a wax ring I like to just give it a little turn on the flange. Get it centered, push down just a little bit and then I also like to take my finger and I like to wipe around the edge of this thing and just kind of smooth it all in place right there. Next he's going to take the toilet. We're going to pop the toilet on.
