I recently went to my daughter's house (in another city) to install a pedestal sink, along with some other work.
I cannot get the drain going into the wall to quit leaking.
Here's the setup:
There is a 1.5" galvanized threaded nipple coming out of the wall.
I purchased a polished metal P-trap 1.25" kit from the local big-box.
The P-trap came with metal compression nuts with black rubber washers that fit against the galvanized nipple end.
I tightened everything but we still get water from the wall connection when we run the faucet, and it's a good amount of water.
I also tried sealing with teflon tape.
Where did I go wrong?
