Hi there,
Here is a picture of the drain's current hook-up in our kitchen sink.
I have been wondering--if it is a good hook-up.
The reason is that
1. The CI elbow is a 45 degree elbow. Is that a correct elbow--or should it be a 90 degree elbow?
2. And then the extension used by the installer is a flexible plastic pipe. That turn is also an odd turn. Perhaps it's due to the 45 degree CI elbow joint.
I wonder if there is a better way this can be done, like
- changing the CI elbow to a 90 degree, or
- just make a cut on the CI pipe before the elbow, do a coupling to change out to plastics, and make a 90 degree turn
BTW, is the CI elbow joint a lead joint?
Thx... .
