The PVC pipe that drains our kitchen sink broke in two. Since there
is no pressure on it, can an amatuer glue it back? If so, what kind
of glue should be used?


Here is a dropbox link to a photo of the broken pipe:

Since there is no pressure on it, I'm holing for a simple fix that I
can do with my limited abilities.


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.



Someone sure did do a hack job on cutting it.

Glad you got it fixed, Jan.
