They used nylon ties around the hard piped fitting and the flex hose in an attempt to keep the pipe from separating. They were not successful. Attachment 29619 It has been repaired and will not pull apart now while letting the slide in and out. |
I recently had the tailpiece nut under the kitchen sink crack so I replaced that and added a rubber coupling (like yours) to the horizontal pipe after the trap. That way any vibrations will not transfer to the fitting in the future. I also removed the straps holding the pipe in position and extended the slide to make sure there was not any stress on it, then reattached the pipe straps.
I also had a cracked nut under the shower pan drain. since it is completely solvent welding to the grey tank, I installed a rubber fitting connecting the tailpiece to the trap so that too will absorb any vibrations.
