Need help from any of the plumbing experts
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...2262855&type=3
I can't get this Y trap under my kitchen sink to budge at all and I need to remove it. There is a hole in the bottom of it. Any ideas that won't damage the in wall piping? Should I just call a plumber? Last edited by 007; 11-20-2012 at 02:29 AM.. |

you can cut it off at the wall, then notch the nipple in the tee in the wall with your sawzall, chisel it out, and then re-tap the fitting and then go from there with material of your choice.
or you can open the wall and cut tee out of wall and then slip in a couple fernco couplers or no-hub cast iron couplers with a new tee. of course you could order some leakender 2000 off tv, that tv stuff is always good. |

if the hole is clean and solid, just take a wire brush to it and use to clean the hole good. Mix up JB WELD, and stuff it in the hole, smoothing the inside out, and leaving a health amount on the exterior. Let it cure. Test for leaks. If it leaks, call a plumber. If not, you spent $15 and saved hundreds.
