This is exactly what I needed. I have a leak and one of the pieces disconnected from the other. Looks like I can buy a new curvy piece and install is myself. Girl Power!!
Thank you so much! I just fixed my pipe watching this!
Thanks, this helped. The hint about tightening a bit at each piece back and forth and not tightening one part fully all at once, is the tip I needed
Nice video. Simple and good explanation
I need a fitting that is 20 degrees and they only sale 90 and 45 degree angles. How do I line up the pipes?
I've been having problems with my P Trap leaking for probably the last two or so years. I replaced the plumbing as I found it and after not too long it would just start leaking again.
I noticed in your video that the lower connection is in a position to be snugged up against the plastic washer that is built onto the pipe. Mine was backwards so that the lower connection was in the front and apparently always under water. There was a short, 4 or so inches of pipe connected to that front pipe. I removed it and the P Trap part fit perfectly, the lower joint is nice and tight and the upper joint is snug and above the water line.
Time will tell I guess but I'm feeling good about this change, thanks to your video.
I've thought about adding energy and water saving features in my house but if the basic stuff is going to be this much Pain I'm not sure my skill set is up to it. S. O. S. Disabled on SSI no money for this big a bill any ideas will be welcome.
My old pluming is from the early 60s Black pipe in walls & under floor, some stainless steal and under sinks PVC what a pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great video as far as it goes but my situation is a bit more involved. after removing and cleaning as you've done here I went to replace pcv parts of drain and as mine changed to stainless steal after p trap that is where my problems went from slightly inconvenient to a down right pain in my ^%^ as I replaced the PVC onto this stainless steal it literally dissolved on the under side in my hand, leaving me with a stainless pipe with no bottom. I tried to remove the old flange at the back of it but couldn't budge it. bought new tools still no go so I don't know what to do now I tried sleeving it inside with PVC pipe but still couldn't get it to seal right. So here I am on youtube trying to find a fix. Any good ideas
GOD BLESS YOU. I SAVE MYSELF CLOSE TO $100. Plus I'm 73 years old (female) and I repaired it myself.
great video!!
