Loose pipe under sink

[bricksmasher]

Hi,

Sure it's an easy fix. This Pipenfor under the kitchen sink, is abit loose and pulls down abit, meaning a abit of water comes through.

Have tried tightening but didn't work, any suggestions for the best method to sort?

Again I'm sure it's simple but thought I'd ask here

Thanks!

Loosen the fitting off, remove the pipe, watch out for the rubber seal, clean the parts and reassemble.

1. Make sure there is no water in that vertical pipe.
2. Unscrew the lower white plastic nut, leaving it on the pipe or putting it back before 5. below. .
3. Inside, there should be the following:
3.1 A rubber washer with a conical shape to it.
3.2 An ordinary fibre washer.
4. Remove rubber and fibre washers and clean the pipe and fitting.
5. Put the fibre washer onto the vertical pipe.
6. Put the rubber washer onto the vertical pipe so that the narrow side of the cone faces downwards.
7. push the pipe and washers into the fitting.
8. Tighten up the white plastic nut. Finger tight should do it.
