Hi;
We have just fitted a new kitchen with a 1 1/2 Bowl Stainless Sink.
The old U Bend and waste outlet has been reused but the lad who installed it used a 1 1/2 bowl waste set from B&Q (Dark Grey).
I have connected a washing machine to the correct outlet on the B&Q section.
The problem is the whole thing is leaking and when the washing machine empties the waste bowl fills near to overflowing, all in all a pretty dire situation.
I have tried to tweak all the connections but after a while they leak I have even disconnected them and wrapped PTFE around the screw threads and also used Plumbmate silicon sealer, to no avail!!!!
The B&Q parts seem to be at fault, the plastic seems very hard and the black seals that they employ are pretty shoddy, there are no rubber seals where the washing machine waste is connected??
Anyone recommend a decent plumber - joking anyone recommend a replacement 1 1/2 waste set and tips on how to prevent leaks. As far as recall as long as the waste has rubber seals no other sealants should be required.
