Just a curious question about kitchen drain.
I used flexible hose bent to T-Trap shape under sink. It drains into 2" horizontal PVC into wall where 2" PVC is bent 90 degree to floor below.

Sometimes water doesn;t drain or drains very very slow, then within 10-20 seconds all drains. Next time drains perfectly, no problem. Sometimes I fill the sink, watch water drain perfectly. Then sometimes later, drain stops or slow drain. Then later drains perfectly.

I thought maybe there's blockage somewhere, I snaked about 30 feet, all cleaned, Flexible hose is all cleaned.

So I wondered if shape of T-Trap I bent with flexible hose is too shallow? I tried different shape, still same draining issue.

Any ideas why drain stops then drains perfectly later?
