Review on NEXT BY DANCO All-in-One Toilet Installation Kit: Perfect Seal Wax Ring, Zero Cut Bolts, and Reliable Toilet Repair - Wax-Free Solution for Mounting Toilet Bolts (10879X) in Blue by Matthew Richards

Reinstalling a 30 year old toilet on a tiled floor so that the flange is 1/2 inch below floor level. The directions looked good, but along the way I realized they weren't up to standard. Luckily this wasn't my first toilet installation job so I knew what was going to happen. The first problem was the brass T-nuts. At first they didn't seem to fit my flange. But then I saw that the threaded parts on each nut were turned off on both sides. However, they weren't sharpened on the right sides. If I used them like that, they could have come loose from the plastic flange. So I ground and filed the threads 90 degrees from the factory. I ended up with a properly seated T-nut. The second issue, as mentioned, was how the ring was supposed to slide over the gray plastic nuts that hold the t-nuts in place. The instructions say nothing about using large opposing holes. It seems obvious in hindsight, but if you're using it for the first time and don't want to screw it up, it's not that obvious. especially if they don't tell you. Third Headband (Incipient Hair Loss): How to keep the brass bolt extensions from falling under the flange when trying to attach them. As I mentioned before, my flange is below the surface so I had to use the extensions that came with it. But I didn't want to lose them when I tried to catch them with T-Nuts. Putting them together with stainless steel bolts and fishing them out with t-nuts was fine, but the extensions wouldn't stay in place when I removed the stainless steel bolts. Shit. So I got out my Dremel and cut a slot in the top of each brass extension and then secured them with a wide thin screwdriver once I had them in place. Luckily I didn't lose them under the toilet! The fourth scratch on my head wasn't a surprise - I expected it. You will need to use plastic clamps to hand tighten the SS screws holding the toilet. This is normal in an ideal world. may be. But I don't think you can tighten them tight enough. I tightened them as tight as I could with my hands (oops) and avoided using tools like they said, but wish they were a little tighter. If the toilet moves, I go to Plan B and use the washer and tools to push it down a little more. But I don't think he will move. I used adhesive sealant on about 90% of the base so it should be fine. Then he scratched his head again when it was time to put the caps on the plastic clips. I think I tightened the clamps so tight, even with my hands, that the plastic plug didn't have enough room to stay on the clamp. So just sit there. Excellent. When I was done I figured I would need a little more time and work and realized I might be better off with some wax rings. Always make a backup, right? As another reviewer noted, this thing still has wax in it and I could feel it being squeezed out when I pushed the toilet in hard, so I'm not sure how good the seal would be if I had to raise the toilet again. like I dropped one of those nasty brass bolt extensions. So three stars. It's ok and maybe I'd get four stars with better instructions and some "handier" parts, but I guess next time I'll just use a good old wax ring. Or two. And maybe modified T-Nuts like me. They will come in handy in a typical installation, especially if you have different sizes of 1/4" stainless steel bolts to accommodate different flange heights, eliminating the need for cumbersome extensions.
