Mastering Sink Drainage: A Hands-On Workshop on Double-Bowl Plumbing
Project Description
This intensive session covered the crucial steps for installing and maintaining a double-basin kitchen sink plumbing system, using a real-world example like the one pictured. Participants gained the practical skills needed to ensure efficient drainage and prevent costly leaks.
Key areas covered in this workshop included:
Understanding the System: Detailed breakdown of the function of the P-Trap (the U-shaped pipe) and how it blocks sewer gases.
Double Sink Connection: Hands-on instruction on connecting two sink drains into a single waste outlet using a center tee fitting.
Leak Prevention: Proper application of pipe sealant and tightening techniques to ensure all joints (especially the slip-joints) are watertight.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Locating potential problem areas and the correct procedure for safely clearing clogs from the P-Trap without damaging the pipes.
Safety & Best Practices: Overview of essential tools and safety precautions when working near electrical outlets (like the one shown) and water lines.
