All-in-One Toilet Installation Kit, Perfect Seal Wax Ring & Zero Cut Bolts, Toilet Repair, Wax-Free, Mounting Toilet Bolts (10879X)

As an engineer there are some things that come naturally. I'm great with electricity, AC, DC, PV, load panels, 240VAC, split-phase, 3-phase (delta or wye), transformers, datacenter UPSs, HVAC systems, etc. BUT PLUMBING NEVER WORKS FOR ME AND IT ALWAYS ENDS UP LEAKING!!!! So in preparation for replacing an old Toto that was a bear to clean (once a week due to poor design) and wouldn't stop leaking no matter what flapper I put in (and even sanded the inside rim) I watched a bunch of YouTube videos. The ones with detail done by professionals recommended this kit. So I got it. (Also "flapper" is the new name for "ballcock.") WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS: The directions are so well written if you can read pictures you can do this. You can also watch the videos. They included almost every part or piece I'd ever want EXCEPT no shims. You can get shims for $4 at Amazon, HD, Loew's, ACE, TruValue, etc. If you don't want store-bought shims you can use a rubber door stopper triangle and cut it just right. Everything I needed was there, and the instructions were clear, so I had cut the old caulk, removed the toilet, removed the gunky wax seal and stuff ahead of time. I measured as per the kit and didn't need the "blue part" since the level of the flange was above floor height. Took it off, put it aside, never used it. The alignment rods are perfect. I've watched videos of people trying to align the two bolt holes while moving the 80-100lb toilet. Having the two rods marking where to put the bolts in and positioning the toiler so the blue rods stuck out of the holes in the toilet base was TRIVIAL. Then, I removed the blue rods (just pull them out, no friction, no screwing) and put the bolts in. Hand tighten using the plastic grommets. No crescent wrench no channel-locks no torque wrench (they warn you not to overtighten or the porcelain breaks). Hooked up the water and the bidet seat. No leaks!!! My first plumbing job with no leaks, and it was a toilet r/r -- the toughest job excluding the under-sink garbage disposal. The toilet appeared stable but when I sat on it there was a bit of a wobble. Tightening the bolts is not the right answer if they're already hand tight. More YT video and went and got shims. Put them in, wobble gone, cut just shy of the toilet base rim so caulk would hide it, and that was done. Caulked for completeness but not in the back, cleaned it up with a credit card (better than a wet finger because it shoves the caulk into that rounded slot between the toilet base and the floor) and it was good. It's been three plus weeks and it's all perfect. Was it worth the price to get it done RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME, not worry about alignment, and have no leaks? YES YES YES. Great product. Great price. Job done right first time. DIY heaven.

I am not a plumber or handyman but do enjoy DIY projects to save $ on basic household repairs. This product was a perfect solution for my application. For some reason the toilets in our house are mounted below the tile making for a considerable gap between the bottom of the toilet and the flange in the floor. I installed a toilet upstairs about 6 years ago. Recently we noticed some water around the base and the bolts that attach the bowl to the floor had rusted. I checked to make sure no water was dripping from the tank. It was not so I knew it was coming from underneath. After some research I came to the conclusion our wax ring needed replacement. I started by buying an extra thick wax ring to replace the existing one. I installed it and noticed the bolts included were not long enough and the wax ring despite being advertised as extra thick was still not thick enough. In need of a different solution so I began researching. My research led me to this product. I ordered it and received it same day. I loved the way the wax ring is incorporated into it and the hardware included accommodated my recessed flange. I used the extensions for the bolts and the thicker ring to flange setup. The fit was perfect. It was great that the installation guide was very easy to understand and follow. I also like the fact you use the parts included to not only install it but also to tighten the bolts from the bowl to the floor. Using these allows you to get them tight but also prevent over tightening which can be a problem for me. I did not like how the caps installed and was unable to get them to stay on properly. Other than that the product worked flawlessly. I wish I would have purchased this first since the extra thick wax ring I bought ended up in the garbage since it didn’t work. I plan to install this product on my other toilets as the flange for them also sits below the flooring. High quality product. Easy installation with detailed instructions. Very responsible pricing. Accommodates recessed flange. I am very pleased.

I rarely write reviews, but this one deserves it. I had to replace an upstairs toilet, and upon removing the existing one, noticed the flange was about 1/4" - 1/2" under the level of the floor due to the tile installation in the bathroom. I tried an extra thick wax ring, I tried doubling up wax rings - these options worked to keep watertight, but it kept leaking sewer gas - not good. I did a tremendous amount of research, talked to friends, supply house folks, and everyone that would listen to me about plumbing. This product was worth every penny more than a regular wax ring. As a general homeowner, and above average DIYer - I'm definitely not a plumber. Setting toilets is harder than it looks, and I'm a stickler for perfection. Not a great combo with wax rings. This made is supremely easy! It installed quick, helped shore up the level gap, and with a single push, the wax sealed the flange, and allowed me the ability to reset the toilet as many times as I needed to in order to get it perfect. (3 was the number). The kit includes literally everything you might need, so if youre toolbox is light, not to worry. Parts are well thought through, and include little rubber tips that make initial toilet alignment a breeze by comparsion. The bolts and their system are thoughtful, and require no cutting, regardless of the height you're working with. It's been 3 days since install, and so far so good. I'm expecting this to last at least the length of the warranty period (10 years). This feels like the best advancement in an archaic methodology, and combines the best of what works (wax) with what makes it easy (rubber).

Very good product. Installed on a 109 pound 1 piece toilet. No leaks so far after 3 weeks.

Funciona bien.

Fast delivery, good quality product and easy to install. So far (day one) it works perfectly and far less mess than having to handle the standard wax seal which can be very finicky to install correctly. Highly recommended product. Thank you. R.

Good
