Default How do you snake a kitchen sink & how to remove a corroded steelnipple when only 1/4" sticks out?

So you can't snake the ****ing kitchen sink. You made your point. Whoever told you to do it ****ing misspoke. Get over it.

For the record, NOT ALL kitchen sinks have garbage disposals and ****ing eastern bloc communist plumbing cages hidden in the other drain.

And, WHAT TOOL will spin off a nipple when you only have 1/4" sticking
out?


Don't even try. You will break off the drain pipe behind the wall or below the floor. Open the wall and figure out what's back there.

If it's threaded in you may then be able to collapse the nipple by crushing it with a pair of chan-nel-lock pliers and peel it out of the threads of the main drain stack.
