Okay, 1st off thanks to everyone who responds to questions as i have learned a lot so far by perusing the postings....
but I still have a problem.
In the pictures you will see my kitchen sink drain pipe feeding into the wall (into a sanitary tee?)
The problem is that the "T" that the pipe is attached to is screwed into other things on both sides (above and below). Well, I was washing dishes the other day and both connections have now failed (in the closer pic you can see the lower one has failed right above the elbow... and in the wide you can see the upper failing point. How does one repair this? get a new T an a coupler? above? and use the elbow that already exists below? I am hoping a picture is worth a thousand words....
Is this something I could do myself? ( i have installed many sinks (not this one) and disposals, a hot water heater and an expansion tank on my boiler)
very many thanks to you all....
