Good afternoon.

Underneath the kitchen sink there is a smaller waste pipe feeding into a larger waste pipe.    I need to seal the gap.  Does anyone know the correct term for the appropriate plastic fitting, please?

Probably some sort of tee-piece. Best bet might be take a picture of the problem to your local plumber's merchant.

It obviously needs to be some sort of end cap with a hole in the middle, but I'm struggling to find the correct fitting online.

Many thanks, Stow Judge.

That fitting is on the right line, sir, but not quite right.  It's a little hard to explain, but the smaller waste pipe from the kitchen sink drops straight down into the larger waste pipe leading to the main sewer.  It leaves a gap of an inch or so around the diameter of the smaller pipe which, unfortunately, has allowed a rat ingress to the house.

I'm assuming the appropriate piece would be called a 'reducing coupler' or something similar, but have been unable to find one online.

The smaller pipe is about two inches in diameter and the larger pipe approximately five inches.

Wouldn't there be a risk of silicone or plumber's mate falling down into the larger pipe and blocking it?
Report toonangel • September 16, 2014 5:13 PM BST
depends how big the plumbers mate is Grin
