My current American Standard toilet, a Yorkville, model number 4049-77 ,was installed in 1975. Works well, but it has started to leak around the bottom. The waste empties to the back. Normal flush, no power assisted. I have not yet removed it. I assume the seal between the toilet and waste pipe has worn out.
1) I have been told I need a 4" diameter neoprene seal between the toilet and the waste pipe. Would you agree with that ?
2) How does the flange of the pipe attach to the toilet ? There are two nuts attaching the toilet to the wall, but they seem to be well away from the waste pipe and the flange.
3) What kind of glue do I need to attach the seal to the toilet ? Do I also put glue onto the flange ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
