Default Frequent Wax Ring Blowouts

As you know from the Big bore toilet thread, I have some problems getting the final product down the poop shoot. This causes me to have to plunge alot, which in turn is blowing wax rings out like crazy. Is there a premium wax ring that can stand alot of plunging, like an adamantium wax ring?


The adamantium part was a joke referring to what the wolverines claws are made from

There are rubber seals being made by some manufacturers. This may be the answer for your problem.

Harvey makes one that is reinforced with a rind of plastic fibers.

Can't remember what number it is.

Have you thought about investing in a closet auger?
