    Hello,

    Tubular PVC / ABS drain assembly is relatively easy to install. All joints are basically hand tightened. If the joint still leaks, you can use pliers and give it extra 1/2 turn.

    Each joint should have plastic washer inserted between nut and pipe. Only exception is the J-Bend. There is no washer, only tapered end.

    Give it a try and let us know how you did... Back to you... Milo

    To add a bit to Milos post. If the nut is started crossed then a leak will result. Good luck, Tom
