Why are wax rings still used in plumbing?

1.03K viewsEngineeringOther

Why are toilets not joined to the main plumbing via a dedicated, leak proof joint? Something that latches into the toilet and is sealed? Automotive, aircraft, and other industries have high pressure fluid lines. Could someone conceive of an improvement to the current toilet connection?

If you are a professional installer who knows what they are doing a wax ring works wonderfully. There’s really no reason to change.

If you are a DIYer who has never done it before, there are some products out there that are more accepting of amateurs
