Reply to comment by TheFishBanjo in Bathroom smells. Plumber's next step would be to seal. Any unconventional wisdom to look at? by otr_otr_otr

Wax ring is an American thing, we don't have them in Europe at least not as s standard thing. We use large diameter PVC couplers with rubber gaskets for connection between toilet and floor pipe.

Yeah I looked again at my toilet here - it flushes to the rear (but stands on the floor - so not a proper hanging toilet either), and there are multiple PCV pipes / couplers that go into the wall. All quite crusty and old.

​

Removing that toilet and redoing the PVC portion is more than I would endeavor, but I suppose that this is what the plumber had in mind.

​

Any intermediary solutions, such as drowning it in Silicone?

Or will that not work on PVC anyway?
