Why are wax rings still used in plumbing?

1.04K 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?

To my knowledge most toilets in the UK don’t use wax rings, we have a flexi hose (think dryer hose but more solid) that connects to the waste pipe
