I have probably broken some rule about using new products, but before I throw in the towel and put a regular trap on, I figured I'd ask the experts.
This Trap Genie keeps leaking from where the lavatory tailpiece enters the top, where the metal nut is. It's not leaking from the threads, water is coming up along the tailpiece where the 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" reducing gasket is at. I've replaced the gasket, re-tightened, re-tweaked, re-aligned.
After running water full on, hot+cold, water eventually works up out, spills over the metal nut, 3-4 drops at a time. Water is working it's way back up the tailpiece. Could I shorten the tailpiece? It's about 4 inches long from that locknut that's threaded onto the drain body.
Or is this a venting problem that I'm never going to overcome? The drainpipe into the wall immediately elbows, and the vertical vent is about 4 inches after the elbow. The reason I haven't just put on a regular trap yet is the vanity cabinet bottom drawer clears the Trap Genie, and the top drawer is pre-fab notched just right for this trap. A white plastic P-trap requires me to start cutting drawers. That becomes a wife problem, etc.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
