Lost Jewelry? Easy Sink Drain Rescue! #plumbing #plumber #diy

What happens here

Use channel-lock pliers to unscrew the coupling nuts on the P-trap. First, loosen the nut connecting the P-trap to the sink's tailpiece, then the nut connecting it to the horizontal drain pipe. Once both nuts are sufficiently loose, carefully remove the P-trap assembly.

Goal: Loosen and remove the P-trap from the sink plumbing

Tools and materials

  • Channel-Lock Pliers — Loosening and tightening coupling nuts on the P-trap
  • P-trap Assembly — The plumbing component being removed
