International Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Trying to replace a leaking sink trap. I think I may have over-tightened the nut while attempting to loosen it. Any tips on getting it loose? Quote
WME Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 From the picture maybe your turning it the wrong way. Quote

hamkid Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Mine was leaking, so I took it apart. Where can I get replacement seals? Quote

A standard sink strainer assembly will fit the opening in your sink. It will include a new tailpiece washer. All the other washers are either 1 1/4” or 1 1/2” depending on what size drain pipe you have. They can be purchased individually at any hardware or big box store. Quote
hamkid Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 (edited) Thanks Fred! What about purchasing a replacement for the missing faucet? Edited May 11, 2024 by hamkid Quote

Most likely a bar sink faucet will work. Sink faucets either come with 4” centers (bar/laundry) or 8” centers. Measure the distance between the two mounting holes. That will tell you what size faucet you need. Any box store or even Amazon will carry everything you will need. Edited May 11, 2024 by fred heath Quote
