Fixing A Leaky Bathroom Sink Drain: Easy Diy Tips For Poor Design And Clog

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces three fittings: a female adapter, a 22-degree elbow, and a male adapter, all with 1 1/2-inch pipe thread, to adapt the wall drain without cutting. First, apply 'Megaloc' pipe dope to the threads of the male adapter and hand-tighten it into the female adapter. Next, apply Oatey Medium Black ABS Cement (ensure it's still liquid and not gelled) to the wall fitting and the female adapter. Quickly and firmly push the female adapter onto the wall fitting, twisting it a quarter turn to secure a good seal. Then, apply cement to the 22-degree elbow and attach it to the male adapter. This new assembly provides the necessary offset for a proper P-trap connection.

Goal: This step involves adapting the existing wall drain fitting to properly connect a new P-trap by using a series of specific pipe fittings and ABS cement.

great idea to have leather gloves so three fittings right here are going to help us adapt to this without having to cut it off this right here is just inch and a half pipe thread we're going to connect with a female adapter got a 22° elbow that will give us just enough kickout right here to make our P trap reach and then we need a mail adapter and we're going to be using female fittings for this because we want it as close as we possibly can right here once we get this screwed on here then we'll able to glue this up into place and we'll add our trap and our extension piece and we're going to be good you might have PVC in your house so in our area residential drain line is done in ABS slap a little bit of megalock pipe dope and I just get this piece here tightened the whole way up you have some OD medium black ABS cement so make sure that your glue is still gluey right you want it to be liquid turns to gel get rid of it you you want to hold it together for a few seconds just make sure it's good and stuck together good to go when you put it in quarter turn it I hate these dumb stickers
