Are you sure the pipe is broken ? It may have just slipped down. Unscrew
the fitting at the top where the pipes are seperated and see if there is any
pipe inside that is broken. If not, just slip the pipe back in and tighten
the coupling nut.


You hit the nail on the head - it is actually not broken. I unscrewed
the connector, adjusted the rubber seal, and screwed it back. That
was easy!

Thank you all for the helpful (and fast) replies?

Now you had a good learning experience. Sing plumbing is all similar
to that so if you have a problem in the future, you are better
equipped to handle it. Plumber would have fixed it in five minutes
and charged a minimum of $75 just to show up.

And the OP would have had to wait an hour or two or more in order to be
home when he arrived.
