Kitchen Pipe Falling Off

[ashwashere2026]

Hi, the pipe that connects kitchen sink to the outside drain keeps falling off. I can’t push the kitchen pipe out anymore and it seems the water pressure is too much for the elbow. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Clean it and glue it or put a self tapper at the top?

Im not really into pipes so wait for better suggestions.

Either expose the wall more to allow the elbow to go in further or if need be and possible, renew the section through the wall with a longer piece.

Replace it all for solvent weld.

glue it

Cant - It's push fit.

Not enough pipe coming out from the wall, can the pipe from inside be pushed out more and then clip the pipe internally and externally to stop it from moving. That being said it's not the right pipe for outside work, it's push fit and as such is PP plastic that isn't UV stable and it will break down over time. As was suggested, if it can be replaced for solvent weld then all the better

Yes, replace with solvent weld or paint the push fit pipe (when fitted properly).

Put a pic up of the trap etc under the sink perhaps that can be twisted a bit to get pipe to stick out further

Check the rubber O ring is still in place inside the Bend, ideally spigot end of the pipe coming through the wall needs chamfering before trying to refit the bend, but if the O ring is missing the bend wont stay attached, and would need replacing.

As said above, at this stage you'd be better off replacing the pipework totally with Solvent Weld.
