This short video will give you a quick overview of what is required to complete your Korky WaxFREE seal installation. Included in your packaging are bolts, hex nuts, metal washers, and plastic washers. The rubber seal contains a thick foam ring and a thin foam ring. You will need a wrench, putty knife, and ruler. Please keep in mind, if your closet flange is cracked or damaged, it must be repaired before installing WaxFREE Seal. We do not recommend using sealants. First, shut off the water supply by turning it clockwise. Remove the tank lid and set it aside. Then flush the toilet to empty the water inside of the tank and sponge out the remaining water left in the tank & bowl. Disconnect the water supply line. Next, take off any toilet bowl caps and unscrew the nuts on each side of the toilet. Lift up on the toilet and remove it. If a wax seal was used on the previous install, you will have to clean the closet flange and bottom of the toilet by scraping off any wax. Helpful hint: Prior to installation, place the toilet on the flange to determine if the floor is even. Shims may be needed beneath the toilet to stabilize prior to installing the seal. Now remove the old closet bolts. Install new bolts by twisting bolt heads to secure. Slide the plastic washers down to the base of the bolts to hold in place.
Next, determine the closet flange height relative to the finished floor. If the closet flange is above the finished floor, use the ruler on the instructions to determine the height above the floor. If the flange is one half inch or above remove the thick foam ring. If the flange is below one half inch above the floor, remove the thin foam ring. Watch for: If flange is three eights of an inch to one half inch above floor, read cautionary note in step 6 of the instructions. If flange is even with or below, use the full seal, with both the thick and the thin foam ring. For extra deep flanges of three eights of an inch below the finished floor, also use the full seal, both thick and thin foam rings. If the flange is three eights of an inch or more below the finished floor, stack two seals on top of each other. Longer bolts may be needed. Now you can set the bowl in place, caution: toilet may be unstable initially. Install washers & hex nuts. Apply downward pressure to bowl while tightening hex nuts (alternate sides while tightening) Do not over tighten, bowl or closet flange may crack.

Departmental Procedures & Guidelines for Inspections, Certifications, Load Testing, Repairs & Painting of Fire Escapes
Inspections by Structural Engineers, Fire Escape Engineers or others acceptable to the Official:
In layman’s terms, the city official is looking for a registered structural engineer or others qualified and acceptable by the Fire/Code Official to do a Critical Examination in lieu of a Live Load Test (criteria submitted or discussed prior to inspection) and issues written verification and certification that all connections are free of internal rust or rot as well as all original hardware (square head bolts or rivet) are reinforced and or replaced in lieu of Live Load Test. All supports (thru-bolts or cemented) into the wall must be verified and certified in lieu of Live Load Test. A fire escape confidence test and tag must be submitted if fire escape passed. The report with photos identifying violations for repairs must include repair criteria submitted to the official for repair vendor to use as a guide during and with engineer oversight of permitted repairs. A Fire Escape Confidence Test and tags identifying certified condition are then submitted. Recommended cycle for live load testing is 20 yrs after total refurbishment or as required by official.
Repairs by Ornamental Ironworkers, Welding Companies or others acceptable to the Official:
In layman’s terms, the city official is looking for a qualified licensed repair vendor to do all work under repair permit (if required) with engineer oversight of repair criteria submitted for approval to the official in lieu of Live Load Test. All connections must be free of internal rust or rot, spot primed and sealed. All worn material repaired and or replaced. All supports into wall reinforced, repaired and certified in a Fire Escape Confidence Test. In lieu of Live Load Test, all square head bolts, rivets and or welded connections must be certified, reinforced and or replaced based on age or condition. All ladders and cantilevers must be balanced and drop 2-3 ft per second, hit the ground and stay down and must lead to a public way. All roof ladders must be secure. No full painting of any fire escape until all spot painted repairs are inspected and certified under engineer oversight and or city official permit sign-off. Full replacement is subject to permits and or possible code upgrade requirements.
Painting by EPA Licensed Renovators (if lead paint is present) or others acceptable to Official:
In layman’s terms, the city official is looking for a paint vendor (EPA Certified Renovator if required) to do all work as per EPA Guidelines due to the fact that all fire escapes older than 1978 are presumed to have lead (EPA) unless identified as no lead or low lead by a licensed lead inspector. Entire building will be notified with signage and all precautions shall be taken to collect paint chips at grade. No sandblasting or power assisted scraping without full fire escape encapsulation under EPA Guidelines. All major connection shall be sealed from water intrusion before during or after painting. All escapes should be spot painted every 3-5 yrs and fully painted every 5-10 yrs or as needed or ordered by a Fire/Code Official.
Fire Escape Codes:
MASS BUILDING CODE 1001.3 TESTING AND CERTIFICATION ALL EXTERIOR BRIDGES, STEEL OR WOODEN STAIRWAYS, FIRE ESCAPES AND EGRESS BALCONIES SHALL BE EXAMINED AND OR TESTED, AND CERTIFIED FOR STRUCTURAL ADEQUACY AND SAFETY EVERY FIVE YEARS, BY A MASS REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, OR OTHER QUALIFIED AND ACCEPTABLE TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, WHO SHALL THEN SUBMIT AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.
NFPA Lifesafety Code 101 7.2.8.6.2 The authority having jurisdiction shall be permitted to approve any existing fire escape Stair that has been shown by load test or other satisfactory evidence to have adequate strength.
