      Need help! I have an inch and a half waist pipe Cummins the wall under my bathroom vanity there is a recoupling on the pipe attached to my p-trap. The connection from the wall is approximately an inch and a quarter short from the tailpiece. I am unable to unscrew the coupling from the waist pipe. Can I use a fernco fitting to make an easier connection. Or could I cut the coupling off and start from the pipe. I'm concerned about cutting the coupling I do not want to damage the threads on the pipe and I don't have any room up against the wall. A fernco I think will be the simplest solution. Thanks for your help

    I followed the recommended order and it worked out fine. The screw connection for the P-Trap nut is always tricky to get it started and threaded correctly but otherwise it was a no hitch install. Very nice video and clear, concise instructions.

  • @normdawley2355
    @normdawley2355 Рік тому

    Thank you for making this video. When I installed my new faucet a year or 2 ago the installation instructions said to use silicon caulk to seal the drain flange to the sink opening/drain hole. It was messy but worked. Fast forward to yesterday when the sink wouldn't drain. I undid all pea trap connections and cleaned out the clog, but in doing so the silicon unseated around the drain flange. Thanks for clearly showing how to apply the plumber's putty. It was easy and forms a better seal, I think. Also, the suggestion to seal the threads with teflon tape is a good one which I don't think the original installation instructions indicated. Suggestion: Another video recommended also using teflon tape on all pea trap connections as extra insurance against leaks, a step which you didn't do. Still, your video is very helpful. Thanks again.

    Awsome! Your video is by far the most helpful I've seen in trying to figure out the leak under the bathroom sink. For me personally, I really appreciate knowing WHY 🤷‍♀️ I need a slight angle to the one pipe for drainage, not just "...well, because... you just DO!" 🤦‍♀️ 😒😠😡 Not that it has anything to do with the leak, I just wanted to thank you for just the right amount of info.
    I've discovered my problem creating the leak and I'm off to get the missing (!) piece. Thanks so much!
