Leaking sink waste

[ScubaCollie]

Can anybody please confirm if I've installed that blue blanking plug correctly as doesn't appear to be made of much and isn't that difficult to pull out? Should it be glued in or just pushed in? Sealant around it?? Pictures below.

Jubilee clip?

Can't believe this Johnny well spotted they've left my jubilee clips out! I normally check the items off the list but because I had to go back in to purchase a hacksaw to cut the pipework I let my daughter put the stuff in the car and they also didn't take the items out of the bag to check in store instead due to all the parts they let us take the bag out to the car and naturally my daughter just emptied the bag, I should have checked, defintely on the receipt (as below picture 8.99) won't be much chance of them giving them to me now they will say I should have checked which I should have! I may be able to get one from a local store who have bits and pieces but they may not be open until New Year and nearest Screwfix or B&Q is about 2hr round trip for me as live in the sticks...... Can't believe this but we'll spotted!!

Think I've sorted the blanking plug as per below pict.

Does this look correct to you?

The joint on the left has the red ring and the black seal/retainer, however the joint on the right looks like it has a different type of black ring and that's all it has for the nut to go over it? Doesn't it need to ime the ring and a sealer/retaining ring? (edit I realise the red ring on the left joint goes the other way around before the black bit)

And also this part in the photo below doesn't have a washer as shown at 1:46 in this video here

Can't believe it I'm short on the connection?

This is with pulling the cement welded pipe up to its maximum as well, will I need to purchase any new parts? Photo below

I'll have a look when i get home.
Don't force anything.

Have you used the maximum adjustable stem? If so, then this is why you needed the fittings, to add any extra to the bottom pipe, to increase the height of trap.

Hi Chris it doesn't seem to be adjustable? Unless I've already got it on its maximum?

Also would you mind please taking a look at the below photos as I'm not sure which way around the pipe goes is it with the black ring at the top of the pipe going into the bottom of the strainer or with the black ring at the bottom and screwing into the trap above the dishwasher hose?

It doesn't look very safe with just the black ring as that could pull off with water weight?

Have you tried turning the trap around, so the u bend is on the right.
You will need to add a coupler and a length of pipe to existing fitting.
If it's still short you have 2 options:
1.buy waste coupler which goes on the strainers (mcalpine do 2 and 3 inches long)
2. Add 2x45 degree to existing pipe to raise it.

This is the correct way. Also does the small bowl trap connection reach? If so, you may just have to extend the left hand side one using Johnny’s suggestion of a trap extension.

Hi Johnny I purchased 40mm Pipe and 40mm couplers and elbows as I read on Google that sinks have 40mm Pipe and basins 32mm, I fooked up!

Therefore I will need to buy some 32mm pipe and couplers to match the trap?
