We installed "ventless toilet" in a small room that had no place for a vent pipe. They were not available in MA at the time. A friend (architect)in NJ sent us a small rubber fitting that was installed in lieu of a vent pipe. It works wonderfully. However, the toilet now rocks and the seal is leaking. Does anyone know where I can buy another fitting if ours needs to be replaced? How to install it?

A picture or more info would be nice like a part #. The only fitting that comes to mind is a studer valve. http://www.plumbingsupply.com/autovent.html

I would be more concerned with the leaking seal, if not it's going to distrory the flooring.

Well guys, the toilet sits on a marble floor. The leaking has caused some staining. That is why we will be pulling it and replacing the seal. My concern is that the fitting may need to be replaced as well and we don't know what it is called or where to buy one. When we pull the toilet I will post a picture of the fitting. Thanks for any advice.
