O/t Plumbing advice

[Fourteenth Eye]

My kitchen sink was slow draining so removed and cleaned all the pipes but now the water won't clear the bottle trap

Anyone know what I should do next?

Use a sink plunger to clear the the blockage further down, or take the trap off again and rod it.

Have you reassembled the trap correctly? They are cheap enough maybe just fit a new one.

Silly question, but you do know the bottle trap is designed to retain a fair bit of water to stop smells coming back from the pipe?

Does it look like Daves right ear or left ear. If left ear it's upside down!

Shouldn't really use a bottle trap on a kitchen sink, try replacing with a conventional U bend system

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Take the plug out or if that don't work get Dyno Rod in
