Dallas, TX, September 29, 2016 — Danco, a leading manufacturer of innovative plumbing products, today announced it has been named by the Chicago Innovation Awards as a 2016 Top 100 Finalist for their Perfect Seal toilet wax ring. Developed by engineers and plumbers, the Perfect Seal provides the strongest, leak-free toilet seal available on the market.

Unlike ordinary wax rings that simply compress during installation, the Perfect Seal directs the wax into the critical sealing zones around the flange and down the pipe. Product testing has shown that the Perfect Seal provides three times the sealing pressure of a simple wax ring, far exceeding all nationally recognized standards and ensuring the tightest seal on the market.

To further enhance the convenience and accuracy of toilet installation, Danco has integrated a helpful scale system into the Perfect Seal. This innovative feature allows installers to easily measure and adjust the position of the toilet, ensuring a precise fit and alignment. By utilizing the built-in scale, users can quickly determine the optimal position of the toilet concerning the flange, eliminating the need for guesswork or repeated adjustments. The scale system not only saves time but also ensures a professional installation every time. To learn more about the Perfect Seal’s unique features, visit website for detailed instructions.

Eliminating the guesswork of toilet installation, the Perfect Seal is engineered with a universal design that will accommodate and seal with all flange heights ranging from ½” above to 1 ½” below the floor. The Perfect Seal design is also unique because it allows for re-seating of the toilet during installation, if needed.

The Perfect Seal is an easy, no-mess toilet installation solution that works with any 3” or 4” toilet flange and any pipe size. It is the only seal that also stabilizes the toilet floor bolts, making toilet installation a one-person job.

“It is a great honor to be recognized by the judges of the Chicago Innovation Awards,’” said Scott Thresher, CEO. “Four years ago, Danco built its Innovation Center to devote resources toward designing and engineering plumbing products that solve common problems in innovative ways. The Perfect Seal is our finest example of a product that eliminates guesswork, installs easily, without tools and without the mess of a wax ring. We believe the Perfect Seal has helped millions of homeowners and plumbing contractors quickly and easily install toilets that will not rock or leak.”

The Perfect Seal is one of the most successful new products launched in toilet repair by Danco. It is available at every major home improvement retailer. For more information about this product, please visit https://www.danco.com/product/perfect-seal-toilet-wax-ring.
