hi all,
a mate of mine asked for a favour to fix leaking waste from kitchen sink.

as you can see from the photo, it's a double bowl sink but only has 1 waste outlet.

it doesn't even have a trap........

is there a kit that can be bought to to sort this?

thank you.
 
Remove the extention piece on the bottom of the sink and fit a 40mm p trap where the 90 elbow is on the bottem.

shorten the right hand piece of pipe too
 
put him a jubilee clip on the dishwasher/washing machine outlet pipe, it could save a flood one day

Haha hold that thought!!

looking at that you cant take out the extension piece, thats been a few kits splashed together.

ill find you a kit :)

Scratch that, just cut down the main extension piece aswell to give you more room

Looks like it all leaks, strip it out and put 2 traps in and work your way forward with solvent fittings till you get past what looks like a flexible waste pipe!!! Always use jubilee clips on w/m and dishwasher outlets as they join the waste spigot.
 
i agree with ch4, replace it with two traps.

it looks like a "kitchen fitter" install.
 
im with mike on this, get a mcalpine 1.5 bowl waste kit and use one p-trap.
 
How much would you expect to pay a plumber for this? (No white waste pipe was available in my local shop) uploadfromtaptalk1396735051991.jpg
 
Tut tut fella, why no jubilee clip on the washing machine waste?
 
Yes, I know... It's on the to do list after there's a flood.... Lol.. I sent my mate to go and buy 1, he comes back with a 15mm isolating valve....
