Do all sets of a P-trap of the need for a compression seal?
I installed a new sink not draining properly – waiter for a backup in the sink instead of flowing through the p-trap and waste pipe in the wall. There is no blockage in the trap. I had to use an adapter to connect the p-trap to the wall – I wonder if all connections in the pool to the wall should be sealed with a compression nut, Teflon tape or putty, perhaps to keep the pressure in the pipes so that water flows out. Is this the case?
What type of adapter is used? Is this the only difference in how organized the old pipe? What size pipe and what kind of material is the tube that protrudes from the wall? I suspect this is where the problem is! The water drains by gravity, but needs a vent to drain properly. You may have hit the drain pipe in the wall too far, like the previous person, said. If that is the case, disconnect and cut the pipe that connects to the pipe wall. Good luck!
