Hello. New kitchen sink install. I used an older P trap I had laying around and it leaked at the same spot. I figured it was just old so I bought a new one. It’s leaking at the same spot.
(See pic where the level is pointing too)
I figured it was loose so I hand tightened it as hard as I could. That helped. Well, came back to check it 10 minutes later and the floor is wet again. So, like any good DIY’er, I grabbed my trusty old pliers and put the gear of God Into it. That helped more. Come back 10 minutes later and it’s still leaking. If I crank on it anymore I’m sure it’ll break and I knew before hand that wasn’t the answer.
I am gonna assume that the issue is not the 2 P trap’s but something I am doing incorrectly that is causing this issue. Any direction or advice?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
