This was actually really helpful given that I had zero plumbing experience until today. Like a lot of this kind of stuff, you realize it’s quite simple afterward. Thanks a bundle!
I can't wait to try this. I had a drain company come in to fix a clog I had that Liquid plumber could not fix(Getting a refund for Liquid plumber), the Mr Drain company fixed the clog but then broke the P-Trap and then claimed it was rusted and now I need a plumber to come in to replace the P-Trap. I priced out the P-Trap metal version 39.99, me doing the labor $0.00 dollars. Sweet! Screw the plumbers and their several hundred dollar charge. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
This is a handy video, I watched a few and this gives very detailed instructions even down to how to put a beveled washer on. Thanks for posting this video, I just replaced my kitchen sink basket, brass tailpiece and removed all the other brass drain pieces and replaced all the rotten washers with new nylon ones. The job is done and no signs of leaks at all. $15 in parts and a little sweat and one small cut and I saved a bundle for a plumber!
very helpful, someone did the same thing on our set up, put the o ring on the wrong side og the pipe coming out of the wall, you just saved me big time,,thank you..
I clean my trap all the time and this last time the washer was old. tryed to replace and still didn't work. your comment about being on wrong side was the key. OMG I can't thank you enough. extra love from Atlanta Ga
Thanks, and yes, I had a ball of 'ick' trapped in the pipe post P-Trap. So now in reassembling, thanks for the washer replacement info, very good reminder. Thanks, this did help!
Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful. But when you couldn't loosen the nuts the first time by hand, you were actually turning in the direction to tighten lol.
2019 and this is still helpful. Thank you for making this! My son dropped one toothbrush down there in 2016, and now another one last night, so it's about time daddy deals with the inevitable and gets those suckers out! Haha! thanks for mentioning the hand-tightening. I've had terrible luck with plumbing fixes and have shit-for-brains at brute force! ;(
Omg thank you for the video. . I had replaced my pea trap but had a leak at the joint to the pipe in the wall. I had the washer in the wrong spot!!! Just like your video had showed!!! So thank you for that, it was my resolution!!!
thank you so much for this. My landlord wont fix the clog that already existed in my new place so i have to myself. This almost makes it sound fun thanks so much!
very helpful, ill have to replace the whole p trap and didn't know what tool to take it off with because my hand wasn't loosening it up. I'll go and buy some pliers and take it to the store and get a replacement.
What do you recommending for dissolving or softening the glue that holds a metal p-pipe joint in place (in addition to the threads screwing the two ends together)? Thanks.
I see that you replaced all the Chrome drain parts when you put everything back together, would be helpful to mention that. I have had those old chrome pipe fold up in my hand when removing them.
At 2:07 didn’t he try to loosen the nuts with his hand by tightening them? 😂. Or was it my imagination. But thanks for taking the time to make the video
Also, as you removed the trap, you said, "as long as the water is off, it will stop leaking." The water supply doesn't put water into the trap, it goes to the faucets. The trap just drains water from the sink by gravity.
Unfortunately, non of these videos actually show and explain the white washer placement. I am attempting to replace only the J- Bend and a white washer came with the part; however, although the J Bend is the same size as the old one, the white washer that came with it doesn't seem to fit which doesn't make sense since.
Great video, I have a leak in a PVC pipe under the bathroom sink. Water flows out of the lower nut that connects to the P trap. This happened right after I tried to unclog the drain using plastic zip-it that has small teeth like edges. Do you thing I might have damaged the PVC pipe itself? Your response and suggestions will be appreciated. Shahzad
I have a question. Just got a new sink all put in... having horrible trouble with leaks.. tightened several parts, and replaced a few. Now everything seems to work great except the dreaded leak has come back, only this time its actually between the brass part just under the sink and the metal pipe that screws into it just below that. Can you tell me any way to fix this? Already tried screwing it as tight as it will go, and it has plumbers tape around it. It's just a little bead of a leak, but just enough to ruin things. Please help. (was thinking maybe replace it with a plastic pipe?)
What if the p trap doesn't fit on both sides? It seems the one side (from the sink) is 1 1/4 and the other side (goes to the wall) is 1 1/2...how do I fix this?
damn it still clogs. i think it may be something in the wall blocking my sink up. there wasnt really anything in the ptrap save for some tooth paste soap sludge i cleaned out
+Jamin Mayer Jamain..get some waterproof silicone grease on the threads. If it still leaksm backup he washer wih some waterproof silicone grease, available at most plumbing supplies.,wrap the wicking between the nut and the washer. Wrap as much as you can that will allow you to get the nut started.. Wrap it just like teflon making sure you wrap it the right way. If not, the wickig will come off. Lubricate all male threads with the silicone water proof grease or pipe joint compound. Bttw, the ball lamp wicking is cheap only a couple bucks. That is what up old timers used, (the wicking,) before teflon, and works better. Good luck!
what do i do if the nut connected to the pipe to the wall ( in the middle) was corroded and just crumbled off? I have the replacement elbow, but I cant get the pipe out of the wall or the nut on the other side where it needs to be. it's very old and I'm scared to use too much force.
I can help you....I went to Lowe's and found a plastic nut; 2 pieces that goes together like a puzzle piece on the pipe. It was only about $3.00 and ever sooooo easy to do. as long as you have the pipe size. Done in like 30 seconds, no tape, glue or anything. Works like a charm. this is what it is called. just copy and paste in the search bar on lowes. Plumb Pak 1-1/4-in Plastic Slip Joint Nut Item #: 346417 | Model #: PP9256SPLT I hope this helps....I figured this out on my own so I hope I can help someone else.
It's his own home... nothing that goes in is something that usnt in his own home. I agree of he was doing professional work for someone else. But he isnt.

Thanks for the plumbing tips! We just learned how to clean out a sink p-trap and replace compression washers.

Thank you Jeff for simply explaining this p trap setup; much appreciated. My project of the day.
You're so welcome. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you! I’ve had a clogged sink for 6 3 months I watched this video and found a bunch of bottle caps in the p trap. very helpful video. 😊

Very helpful! Thanks for showing how to correctly place compress washer！
Thank you. Saved a call to the plumber or handyman.
Thank you for the great video. Your unexpected difficulty helped me understand what I need to fix. Good job!
Thanks for this. Definitely saved the day. Made me a hero. :)
Thanks a lot for the video! I found it very helpful!
Thanks my trap had the seal in the wrong place too! This saved me, thanks man
Thanks very helpful, going to clean p trap now
Thanks so much!, Great video

awesome video....thanks ! This is my first p-trap replacement so the vid is very helpful !
Thanks I gotta do this tomorrow very detailed
I see that you replaced all the Chrome drain parts when you put everything back together, would be helpful to mention that. I have had those old chrome pipe fold up in my hand when removing them.
I don't understand this. I tried using my pliers and I get no grip from them.
At 2:07 didn’t he try to loosen the nuts with his hand by tightening them? 😂. Or was it my imagination. But thanks for taking the time to make the video
Also, as you removed the trap, you said, "as long as the water is off, it will stop leaking." The water supply doesn't put water into the trap, it goes to the faucets. The trap just drains water from the sink by gravity.
What size of wrench do you use?

I have a double sink in the kitchen one side is PVC the other metal. I have compression washers for 1 1/2 in PVC, can I use them for the metal joints?
For metal pipes I suggest you get a wrench or what ever its called
Thanks for video
What is the name of wrench, could you please add link of the tool?
I have a question. Just got a new sink all put in... having horrible trouble with leaks.. tightened several parts, and replaced a few.

Thanks, great!!!!!
thanks for the video it help me .
I think you have the washer that connects p-trap to the drain black pipe wrong backwards.
thank you, the video is helpful
looks like you were turning the wrong way when you tried by hand before you used pliers, just saying.
Possibly
Thanks for the help!
+KittyHawk71
depends which pipe the nut tightens to
I thought so too. But how did he unloosen the trap turning right?
The tailpiece doesn't look like it's seated correctly in the p-trap fitting, which appears to be leaking.
well described.
What if the p trap doesn't fit on both sides? It seems the one side (from the sink) is 1 1/4 and the other side (goes to the wall) is 1 1/2...how do I fix this?
The tapered ring slides easily over pipe so everything can just slide apart. It seems it should not be this way.
Looks like some homework for today!
damn it still clogs. i think it may be something in the wall blocking my sink up. there wasnt really anything in the ptrap save for some tooth paste soap sludge i cleaned out
We keep replacing compression washers and we still get leaks... at the P-trap fitting. And yes, we tighten them down. ;-) Any thoughts?
+Jamin Mayer Jamain..get some waterproof silicone grease on the threads. If it still leaksm backup he washer wih some waterproof silicone grease, available at most plumbing supplies.,wrap the wicking between the nut and the washer.

That is what up old timers used, (the wicking,) before teflon, and works better. Good luck!
At 5:35 I think the compression washer on the waste arm is on backwards.
Yes Rocket, looks like you're correct.
Those "components" you spoke of, that you need to loosen, are actually called NUTS 😄
what do i do if the nut connected to the pipe to the wall ( in the middle) was corroded and just crumbled off? I have the replacement elbow, but I cant get the pipe out of the wall or the nut on the other side where it needs to be. it's very old and I'm scared to use too much force.

I hope this helps....I figured this out on my own so I hope I can help someone else.
PS. don't paste the whole thing. it wont find it. either do the name or the item #. and if the pipe is a 1/2 just change the number 4.....
Only one side of a P-trap has a slip-joint nut to install!
Turn those channel locks around..lol
I can't get water to turn back on under sink
NC Geo?
Dou have to shut water off
Mine doesn't come off WTH y
Lol. I tried to get mine off and was no t successful neither. But will try with ba wrench.
