The sleeves are part of a different style of connector (the style in the pic Terry posted above).

You can't just add them.

you may have a problem depending on how much space you have between where the banded coupling goes. Normaly you want only about 1/4-3/8" between the 2 pipes being joined.

i think i have less than that but we will see....the top one i think will be simple....the bottom might be a bit rough..

Do the bottom one first.

Among other reasons, at the top, if you wind up short, you can easily (cut back if necessary and) add a decent sized length with a PVC coupling, then use the Proflex to connect. (E.g., adding 1 inch isn't doable. Cut 11" and add 12" to get there.)

well it worked out well....after i but in the bottom the top was to long so i trimed about 3/8 in off put the connector on, folded it back over itself and slip it in!!!

all done...the drain is snaked and no back up of water into sink anymore...

i might add the proper vent at a later time but i'm done for now

my sincere thanx to to terry,cass and rest of the crew who showed me what to do!
