Fluidmaster 7513 Extra Thick Wax Toilet Bowl Gasket with Flange

Wax is not soo good

Reinstalled new toilet. Flange was below ceramic level. The think flange that came with the toilet did not make a good seal. This one was a much better fit created a perfect seal. The built in flange was also a great idea.

Seals Tight and Installs Easy This Fluidmaster extra-thick wax gasket does exactly what it’s supposed to do—create a reliable seal between the toilet and the flange. I recently used it on a bathroom project, and the installation went smoothly. The wax is noticeably thicker than standard rings, which gives you some extra reassurance if your flange is slightly below floor level. The attached flange also helps with alignment, so you’re not fussing around trying to center things while lowering the toilet. What I liked most was the solid, no-leak seal it created right away. Even after tightening the toilet bolts and giving it a test flush, there were no signs of seepage. It feels durable and well-made, exactly what you want in a product that you definitely don’t want to fail. One thing to keep in mind is that because it’s extra thick, it may sit a little higher than needed if your flange is already flush with the floor. In those cases, a standard wax ring might be more appropriate. But if you’ve got an uneven surface, gaps, or a lower flange, this is the perfect choice. Bottom line: A dependable, easy-to-install wax ring that’s ideal for problem flanges and ensures a leak-free toilet seal.

Fluidmaster 7513 Extra Thick Wax Toilet Bowl Gasket with Flange Decent product. Works. Price was okay as it was purchased as an Amazon add-on item. Can't say I couldn't find similar for less at a nearby store but I wasn't in a hurry.

So after watching 3 videos on Youtube, I felt like I would be able to tackle a toilet repair job quickly. One hour and a swore back later, I can safely say those guys on Youtube made it look much easier than it is. But don't let me scare you. If an overconfident, not at all handy, and slightly impulsive guy like me can do it, so can you. The wax ring is good. 5/5 would wax again.

This is TOTALLY a wax ring. It's sticky, as it should be, and pretty much the standard thickness commonly seen in such a product, of the serviceable quality that you'd expect in an insignificant product requiring not much technical expertise to make out of inexpensive materials and from a well-known, reputable company in the plumbing-supply industry. It does the job it's designed to do. I can't say I could imagine what a wax ring would have to do to excel in performance, besides being adequate. In the rating, they wanted me to evaluate its "Sheerness"...I gave it five stars for Sheerness, because, basically, I didn't want to drag down their rating even on something that seemed irrelevant. I must admit it's opaque, barely translucent at best near the edges if you're sighting through a corner. If by "Sheerness" they mean the smoothness and texture of the wax and cone, it WAS perfectly sheer, totally without jutting surfaces that could snag any waste matter passing by. I'm sure the request for me to review this product appeared in my sidebar due to a computer algorithm, and the thought of providing an in-depth review of such a banal, commonly-known product was so ludicrous I just had to respond. I must be bored. I suppose the only thing that could go wrong would be if the package was damaged, but that'd be the fault of the handling service rather than the manufacturer. The packaging from the company appeared adequate--a molded plastic tray (if memory serves) that may even have functioned to cast the molten wax placed into it during manufacture. It wasn't a very substantial plastic tray, but it was substantial enough, and conformed to the dimensions of the box perfectly, the union of box and tray having a surprising structural integrity considering their constitution, to protect the product within. Even if poorly packed in the larger shipping box, it would have a high likelihood of reaching its destination intact.
