The fact you can't work it out doesn't make it any less so. The fact that it worked as intended has left you all butt-hurt, hasn't it? If the rubber had a thread that matched the waste outlet at rest, then you compressed it 50% of it's original size, what pitch would the thread be then. You really don't have a clue. It's compressing INWARDS, so the rubber is sealing the threads. Left all day with basin full of water. Not a drop. With the plug open? Eh? What planet are you on? Plug closed, basin filled, tap left trickling so water runs down the overflow. Sheet of newspaper on the floor - even one drop of water is going to stand out a mile. Nothing all day. Remove the trap, blank the end of the waste outlet off, open the plug, fill the sink with water to the brim and leave *that* for a day and get back to us. **** off, you tedious little ****. I've just assembled it and it's leak-free, you seriously expect me to take it all apart again to satisfy your inadequacies? If you have something to prove, you prove it - **** off and do the experiment yourself. I have a life, unlike you it seems. No wonder you get so much stick on here. I'm not saying it *will* leak (you can get lucky with these things), I used the proper part for the job rather than bodge it with sealant, plumber's mait, etc. As I said at the outset, it should be possible to achieve a good seal without bodging it with sealant. And so it proved. I guess you're the sort of incompetent **** that thinks it's OK to use PTFE to seal compressed fittings on gas lines too. Back in the killfile you go. *plonk* -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10? Nein danke! (")_(") |
