Sani Seal Llc BL01 Waxless Toilet Gasket

Better than a wax ring I think.

I have only used two of these but have ordered six. Three were for me and three for my brother. I installed two of my original order at my brother's who just happen to have broken the cast iron flange trying to use the old wax seal and still had a leak. One of the greatest things about these is that they hold the screws in place making it almost fool proof to install the toilet. Another great feature is that if the floor is not completely level it gives just enough that there is still no leak. I have recommended these to a friend who used two and then ordered his son a couple. I was in Lowes the other day and noticed that they now carry them as well as some Home Depots. These things cost about twelve dollars but they can save you several hundred if you have a wood floor just by eliminating the need to replace a rotten floor because of a leak. I believe that they are nearly leak proof. Once you use one of these you will never go back to the wax ring.

This is a GREAT product for the DIYer installing a toilet. Bees wax rings have always been sketchy in terms of consistently providing a good toilet-to-floor seal. This product is easy to use, no mess, and consistently provides an excellent seal. I have used this product on three different toilets in recent years with 100% effective results. Good to see technology finally evolving beyond bees wax!

I have a very troublesome toilet on a tile floor. I replaced the wax ring 5 times while also trying to correct some slight rocking of the toilet on the tile floor. I used special wedges (sold for that purpose) applied epoxy dots to the toilet base to stop rocking, used standard and extra thick wax rings and NOTHING worked for more than a few months. Today I installed a Saniseal ring. I was very impressed with the simple design and the fool proof installation. I followed their you-tube suggestions and was liberal with silicone sealer. I am confident that this pliable gasket, under good compression, sealed with silicone on top and bottom, will work. My flange is the thickness of the tile below where the bowl sets and I still had plenty of compression with one ring. They say you can stack them if need be, so I bought two. You don't need two unless your flange is more than 3/8 inch below the floor. I'm 77 years old and never had to reset a toilet before. I have learned more than I ever wanted to know. Two important lessons. Don't use a wax ring - buy a Saniseal. Don't over tighten the hold down bolts; it's easy to crack the flange - but if you crack the flange don't dispare there are good metal repair plates that you can install and make it better than new.

I saw this item on on one of the diy networks and since I needed to change out a seal in one of the commodes in the house, thought this would be better than an old wax seal. IT WORKED AS ADVERTISED. No problems in installing it. Watched the video online several times before getting to work. The commode did sit differently on the floor, but was able to shim it with rubber gasket material so that it didn't "rock".

I replaced my rear outlet toilet so had to change out the ring. Originally I bought the “better than wax” blue silicone ring from the big box stores and it held for about 6 months before it started to leak again. When I removed it I could see that it did not seat properly on the toilet. Decided to get a wax ring instead. After install didn’t feel good about it and sure enough after 5 days it started to leak again. Came across this and it looks promising! It fit perfectly over the toilet for a great seal. Then when tightening the bolts it was softer than the wax ring so it was easier to properly compress it. A week later no leaks and then I took a small camera to double check everything was water tight and it was! If this lasts longer than a year I will be happy. If it fails earlier than that the other option I was looking at was “Fernco Toilet Seal” it has a wax sticker that you stick to the toilet first and it has ridges on the cylinder so you can “feel” it slide in.

Bought this because my bathroom floor is way off level (old house problems). Regular wax rings were a total pain, every time I'd try to shim the toilet to stop the wobble, the wax would squish wrong or crack, and I'd have to start over. Super frustrating. This Sani Seal gasket made it actually doable. It's flexible enough that I could set the toilet down, check the level, add/tweak shims, lift it back up if needed, and readjust without wrecking the seal. No gooey wax mess everywhere, and I didn't have to stress about deforming it. It's been a few weeks now and the toilet sits solid with no rocking, no leaks at all, even though the floor's still crooked as ever. Huge relief after dealing with wax fails for years. If your floor's uneven or you hate the wax hassle, this thing is worth it. Saved my sanity!

We recently renovated our upstairs water closet (half bath) with a new tile floor using Easy Mat and ceramic tile. The flange was just a little above the level of the tile so we didn't really need a non-wax seal, but personally I HATE WAX SEALS. In the past I have used the Fernco stick on non-wax seal, but this Sani Seal is MUCH easier to use. For one thing you don't have to have a new toilet to use it! We found that we couldn't use the Fernco due to the flange in the bathroom being an old design of non-current size at 3.75 inch inside diameter. Everything out there is for 3", 3.5", and 4" flanges. I started researching waxless seals and saw the Fluidmaster (which doesn't look very convincing!) and then stumbled upon the Sani Seal. The new toilet we installed is a space saver elongated bowl one from Home Depot with the usual 3" horn. I caulked the flange face as suggested in one of the Sani Seal videos I saw on Youtube and then put the toilet base on solo (without helping eyes to guide). The fact that it is on the flange and not the bottom of the toilet makes 1-person installation a breeze. It holds the bolts for you so all you have to do is line them up with the holes on the toilet base and set it down. With it being non-wax you can rotate to your hearts content to align the toilet with the wall. I lifted the toilet base up on one side once it was down to make sure the horn was inside, just a curiosity check. The foam Sani Seal was compressed slightly and the toilet was just barely floating above the floor. Gently putting weight on the toilet compressed the seal and tightening down the mounting bolts finished the job. Once the toilet was fully assembled it was cross my finger and test time. Prior to flushing I filled the bowl slowly using a pitcher to see if there were any leaks to be found. None...so FIRST FLUSH! WHOOSH. . . . No leaks. 2nd...3rd...4th...no leaks!!! This is definitely worth a look if you are like me and hate wax seals. I will never go back and you can't make me.

Works well, as advertised. Easy to install. Much cleaner than wax seals in my opinion. Have it installed since May, no leaks whatsoever.

It depends on your needs, but it solved the problem with a low-flow toilet downstairs in the basement. A perfect fit, no leaks and readustable. Packaging is a little cheap and flimsy, but it's worth it. It's ten times better than the Fluidmaster (can't be repositioned because of the cheap spacer).

Fanstastic product, creates a great seal and made installation effortless. I personnally used silicone caulking with my sani seal for that added protection. So far no leaks.

4 months in and it is still doing its job

Good working.
