Yes they are siliconed. Not sure how much on their two but covered in black.

Eli, I always silicone the nut side and I do put a seal around the gasket after installed, just to protect the gasket. I dont trust their seals with no silicone.


Anyways, they are. I dont care about their two. They going in the garbage and replacing with the correct white pvc models, so I can plump my drains correct. The new one I drilled in the back will stay, as its done right....................................cause I did it.

Do you guys clean with vinegar after blading the silicone off?


The hardest part will be cleaning my overflow glass, unless I chuck it to and get new.
