Primary Differences Between The Two Wax Ring Types
Since both are wax rings, there are no basic differences in their functionality or composition. Some things that differ between these two are the thickness and application.
When it’s about a regular wax ring, it will come with a thickness of around 3/4inch to 1-inch. It’s the most common wax ring size and is used much more commonly. Also, it’s the lowest thickness available for wax rings.
So, it will be much thicker and heavier than the regular one, given that they are made of the same material.
Now, the real thing to know is the application of the two wax rings. Surprisingly, this doesn’t depend on the wax rings themselves.
Which one you will use and apply in your case depends on your toilet. Depending on the toilet flange, you will have to decide on one option.
You can find the toilet flange around the floor pipe underneath the toilet. You have to check the depth of the flange to decide which wax ring you will be using.
If the toilet flange is level with the floor or within the range of 1/4inch of it, then you will need to use a regular wax ring.
If you find the flange recessed deeply in the floor, you must use a double-thick wax ring for the toilet. A common instance for this is if you have installed a new thicker flooring than the existing flooring.
You will need to use a double-thick wax ring in that scenario, even if you might have used a regular one earlier.
The reason for that is the extra material in the ring.
However, this doesn’t impact the results of the toilet seal. It just makes sure you can cover the more significant portion with the extra material.
