Hello,
First off, regardless who reads this question; I have asked previous questions: you guys are great!
I made the mistake of not remembering how the old p-trap was connected therefore...
photos:
Plumb 17: old P-trap & drain kit part that connects
Plumb 18: old P-trap and "build up gunk or glue/silicone"
Plumb 19: Item proposing to use on new setup
Plumb 20: new P-trap & new item from photo 19 & same old drain kit part
Plumb 21: old drain kit showing a compression ring (will be one of my main questions...)
Plumb 22: Showing the "short" section that will go into drain kit that goes to the ABS
Plumb 23: Showing photo 22 connected with no glue/thread/nothing just sitting on top
Plumb 24: overview of entire waste & drain kit
Question 1: I bought photo 19 part, because it looked like the old threaded section on the old ABS p-trap. Is this the correct part to use?
Question 2: On photo 18: can you determine if that is some kind of sealant, if yes what should I use on new setup?
Question 3: This may be subtle, but maybe important? On photo 17&18 you can see between the P-trap and the threaded/gunky part that there is a small riser. Currently in my setup (photo 20) I don't have anything like that. I don't think I need it, to have correct height for tub, however could I need it so the white PVC goes into the P-trap further (less likely to leak)?
Question 4: Photo 21, I made the mistake of not observing/remembering when taking old one apart if it had a compression fitting...do I need that compression fitting connecting the PVC to ABS? The compression ring is just me sticking it on for photo, again not sure if needed.
Question 5: Photo 22&23. you can probably see that the white part that connect to the other white part is not too long (it didn't leak previously old owner setup) and it was literally just connected by placing it in the the white section that will be connecting to the ABS p-trap. Does that seem short? and there appeared to be a "broken down white film at the connection, could they have Siliconed it to prevent a leak?
