Hi folks, I've been reading lots here and learning but still not quite finding what I'm looking for...
My house is ~5 years old and I'm experiencing a leak under my kitchen sink. It's a dual sink, and the leak is on the non-disposal side. Specifically, it is coming from where the metal fittings on the bottom of the sink are connecting to the PVC.
On a suggestion from someone at Lowes I replaced the inner plastic ring (sits between pvc and the metal) and I thought it helped, but I was wrong!
What I am confused about is that it just seems wrong... like it can never actually seal in a water-tight fashion. It may just be that the washer/ring that threads onto the bottom of the sink doesn't get very snug, but even snug I don't see how it keeps this sealed. Going to try and attach some annotated pictures... if someone could comment and/or point me to a diagram of how these fittings look in detail, that'd be most helpful.
Thank you!
