toilet question

[echo4747]

Over the course of time I've probably removed and installed 10-15 toilets in various rental homes, my own home. Up to this point. all of these toilets were standard bottom outlet units. I just had a relative ask if I could replace a toilet which is a rear outlet (wall outlet vs floor outlet) Since this would be the first time I would be doing this type, the question I have is do these toilets use the same wax rings as the bottom outlet toilets?

It seems the rear outlet toilets use neoprene or graphite felt seals.

yes.. thank you..looks like you dont use the standard wax seal. havent seen these neoprene/felt seals at the big box stores. i will probably need to go to an actual plumbing supply store

Man, the rough-in on one of these toilets has got to be pretty much spot on in the vertical dimension. The finish floor dimension would be very critical.
