Hey all,
Water system is hooked up and tight...a few initial leaks, but taken care of. BUT...an old friend is causing problems. Short story...the p-trap off of the sink is split lengthwise and I thought I had it epoxied enough to seal it. It's still leaking. This was a job from the previous owner and the tolerances are TIGHT. I've tried a fix with a standard trap from a local hardware store with a different top fitting that nuts to the drains thread. It's ~1/4" too tall and the drain won't seat in the sink. I can't find the flared strainer adapter in the picture locally.
Questions:
1) What the heck is this thing? Is it something I can put together at HD or Lowes?
2) Any other fix suggestions? I've seen rubber p-traps online, but they all seem too tall.
3) Has anyone had any luck fixing a crack like this? It runs almost the entire length of the top strainer adapter fitting including the threads so when it's threaded to the drain it just opens back up.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks much.
