Can I install a toilet with two wax rings?
Sometimes it is necessary to make sure you don't have a leak when installing a toilet with multiple wax rings.
When a homeowner will install a tile floor is the most common case.The height of the floor is raised and the distance from the toilet to the base is increased.As the waste is flushed, some of it may end up on your floor, if you use a regular sized wax ring to fill in this space.
You can either buy an extra-thick wax ring or just buy two rings and stack one on top of the other.I would buy the type with the rubber insert that directs the waste down the hole.
Pull the toilet down towards the floor after you stack the wax rings.As the wax rings fill the void between the bowl and the floor, you should feel resistance.It could be that there is still a gap, which could lead to a leak.
When you feel resistance, put your full weight on the toilet.You can tighten the nuts.
