Good evening all,
Plumbing novice here but need some help.
We have a bathroom with a bottle trap waste that comes from the bathroom sink and into the external wall where this connects to plastic piping.
However whoever installed this (was like this when i bought the house) has literally installed it where the metal from the waste trap runs into the pipe.
Checking this video, it seems there should be a rubber connection type thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDdmfOrVieM
which mine is missing, as a result when draining water from the sink the flow vs lack of gravity between the two pipe connections makes a small amount of water trickle back and leak into the bathroom/wall.
I have no idea what this rubber thing is called, or if there is a better alternative to connect the metal waste pipe (smaller diameter) to the plastic external waste pipe inside the wall.
I hope the above makes sense.
Regards
