Gaskets & Bolts

< Back to Products

Oatey®, Hercules®, and Harvey™ wax rings have set the benchmark for excellence in toilet-setting products, trusted by generations of professional plumbers. Wax naturally seals to the porous porcelain texture of toilets, eliminating potential leak paths. This ability to create a seamless, airtight seal makes wax rings a superior choice for ensuring a secure installation. Oatey’s brands of wax rings are engineered to provide a leak-proof seal between the toilet and the floor flange, ensuring long-lasting performance.

They also feature a clean release tray for no-mess handling and easy installation, even on hot, humid days. This reliability and ease of use make Oatey wax rings, including Hercules Johni-Rings®, the go-to choice for both new installations and repairs. In addition to their practical benefits, Oatey wax rings and Hercules Johni-Rings are designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures, maintaining their integrity in challenging conditions. The commitment to quality and innovation behind these products reflects the trusted legacy of the Oatey family of brands. Our wax rings represent the pinnacle of toilet-setting products, ensuring exceptional results with every installation and solidifying their place as essential tools for both seasoned professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wax rings be stacked on top of one another to make up for the extra space between the toilet bowl and toilet flange, and still create a watertight seal?

Although stacking two wax seals on top of each other seems to be a common practice, Oatey does not recommend this application. We recommend using a jumbo or extra thick wax ring instead the stacking method. Also consider raising the flange height with one of our spacer kits.

What ingredients are in wax gaskets?

Oatey and Hercules wax seals are a blend of Slack Wax (unrefined feed stock) and Micro Crystalline Wax (refined feed stock). These are used to control the properties and result in a premium finished product. 

How is a wax seal installed?

It is always important to first set the toilet bowl in place before installing the wax seal; this will confirm that the toilet bolts are aligned properly, and the floor can be checked for levelness in case the bowl will need to be shimmed during installation.
