What's the plumbers *feel* when tightening DWV connections under the sink.
Handtight with a turn on the wrench. Or tight till the nut bottoms out on the threads
Slipnut on Tubular Brass
Plastic Slipnut on Tubular Brass where it's goes into wall outlet
Sink Basket
For example, Kohlers Sink Basket seems to have changed slightly. On the current one, there is a washer plate that goes under the gasket and then a metal plate that is screwed underneath. Alongside - 3 screws that you're supposed to screw tight pushing the brass washer against the gasket. I've got the locknut as tight as it's going to get....and while the 3 screws can put the brass washer tighter against the gasket to the sink, it's weird...as the 3 points where the screws are going up are getting deformed...and it's not a ~uniform~ pressure pushing the gasket.
Plastic Slipnut I presume just a 1/4 turn with the handwrench past tight.
Nuts on Brass Tubular ???
