Abstract
A non-leaking flush toilet kit that eliminates the need for using wax gaskets or rings on a toilet system. Such kit includes a floor flange, a toilet base extension sleeve that is affixed to the base outlet opening of a flush toilet, and a v-ring seal seated within the floor flange. The floor flange is affixed to a soil pipe at or about floor surface. Said sleeve projects downwardly from the toilet base and is received by the v-ring seal and extends into the soil pipe, and forms a seal between the sleeve and the floor flange, thereby forming a seal between the base of the toilet bowl and the soil pipe.
Claims3
A sealing kit for connecting a flush toilet to a soil pipe, said sealing kit comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical floor flange including an upper flange portion, a downwardly projecting extension for mating with a soil pipe, and an upper surface defining a groove;
- a ring having a downwardly-projecting lip that is received by said groove, said ring seal defining a substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface, said ring further including an upwardly projecting sealing lip and a wiper seal parallel with the sealing lip on said interior sealing surface;
- and
- a toilet base extension sleeve having a substantially flat upper surface for mating with the toilet outlet and a substantially cylindrical sleeve portion projecting downwardly from said flat upper surface and defining inner and outer surfaces, wherein the outer surface of said sleeve portion is sealingly received inside said substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface of said ring seal.
A sealing kit for connecting a flush toilet to a soil pipe, said sealing kit comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical floor flange including an upper flange portion and a downwardly projecting extension for mating with a soil pipe;
- a ring seal which seats within the floor flange and defines a substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface, said ring seal including an inwardly-directed, upwardly projecting sealing lip and a inwardly-directed wiper seal parallel with the sealing lip on said interior sealing surface;
- and
- a toilet base extension sleeve having a substantially flat upper surface adhered to the toilet outlet and a substantially cylindrical sleeve portion projecting downwardly from said flat upper surface and defining inner and outer surfaces, wherein the outer surface of said sleeve portion is sealingly received inside said substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface of said ring seal and extends into the soil pipe.
An assembly connecting a flush toilet outlet to a soil pipe, said assembly comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical floor flange including an upper flange portion, an upper surface defining a groove, and a downwardly projecting extension having at least one stop, wherein said cylindrical floor flange is mounted onto a soil pipe having a top edge, wherein the top edge of the soil pipe abuts the stop of the floor flange;
- a ring seal having a downwardly-projecting lip that is received by said groove of the floor flange, and said ring seal defining a substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface, and including an inwardly-directed, upwardly projecting sealing lip and a inwardly-directed wiper seal parallel with the sealing lip on said interior sealing surface;
- and
- a toilet base extension sleeve having a substantially flat upper surface adhered to the toilet outlet and a substantially cylindrical sleeve portion projecting downwardly from said flat upper surface and defining inner and outer surfaces, wherein the outer surface of said sleeve portion is sealingly received inside said substantially cylindrical interior sealing surface of said ring seal and extends into the soil pipe.
