Default Sealing basin combined waste/overflow?

So how 'rubbery' is the rubber? How much have you compressed it whilst
tightening the fitting?


Buy one yourself and find out, like I did.

Fact. 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*
