What happens here

Assemble the new P-trap components, ensuring all necessary rubber washers are placed correctly within the slip nuts. The video highlights the convenience of modern rubber washers for easy sealing. Connect the P-trap to the newly installed sink drain tailpiece and to the waste pipe coming from the wall. Hand-tighten all slip nuts initially. Once all connections are made, give each slip nut an additional quarter to half turn with adjustable pliers or channel locks to ensure a snug, leak-free seal. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack plastic pipes. Finally, fill the sink with water and then release it, checking all connections for any leaks.

Goal: Connect the new P-trap to the drain and wall for a watertight system

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Pliers — Snugging the slip nuts on the P-trap

What they say

This rubber washer does the ceiling. So then you can just tighten this up. I've got rich holding up top with them back up. Okay, this is going to go in here like so. Put our washers on. I love these rubber washers these days. Everything is just going to go to hand tight. Go a little extra snug and let's fill them up.
