Plumbing gel for toilet removal

Oatey 31416 Liquilock Gel solidifies water inside toilet bowls and tanks to stop spills when fixtures are detached. It is designed for plumbers and DIYers who need a dry, controlled workspace during toilet replacement or repair. The product works on standard residential toilets and activates with the water already present in the system.

Non-toxic formula with low VOC content

The gel turns standing water into a firm gel within approximately four minutes, reducing drips and leaks while the toilet is lifted. Low volatile organic compound levels and a non-toxic composition make it suitable for indoor use without harsh fumes. No external power or heating is required for the solidification process.

Pre-measured packets match common tank sizes

One package treats a 1.6 gal. toilet and two packages treat a 3.5 gal. toilet, removing guesswork during preparation. The single-use format eliminates measuring and reduces product waste on the job site. Each unit is sold individually for flexible purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I apply the gel to a 1.6 gal. toilet before removing it?

Pour one 31416 package into the bowl, wait about four minutes for the water to solidify, then proceed with fixture removal.

Does the solidified gel require any special cleanup or disposal after the job?

The non-toxic, low-VOC gel breaks down with normal flushing once the toilet is reinstalled, leaving no residue that needs separate removal.

What is the maximum toilet capacity a single 31416 package can treat effectively?

One package handles up to a 1.6 gal. tank; a 3.5 gal. toilet requires two packages to fully solidify the water.
