Wondering if anyone can provide any feedback on their experience with the Fernco wax-less toilet seals, especially in terms of longer term reliability. Not sure how long these have been around … Thanks.

Just burns me … what happened to plumbing codes along the way ? Now I have this place with 2 flanges on the subfloor from original construction. Guess it lasted 30 years though, but now I get to stare at the problem and scratch my head.
