a. no trap.
b. no pipe thread tape
c. most places dont allow that type of pipe to be used for all of that (threaded)
d. they arent even the right pieces.

I'm vaguely disappointed with almost everyone in this thread. -- nm - David Feb 23, 11:33 1
- its one of those "oh funny........................wait, what?" type of things. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:34
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's got at least one extra 90 degree bend piece. -- nm - Ender Feb 23, 11:31
Seriously, no U pipe? That drain's gonna be a stinky mess. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 11:20 19
- How would that stop the stinky? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:21 18
  - I always thought that the water in the U acted as a plug to stop vapour back-flow -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 11:23 11
    - it does. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:23 10
      - I'll have to enlist ST's help on the plumbing issue I have at home ... - Beryllium Feb 23, 11:25 9
        
        go to the ER! -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 11:26
        
        well, ok, go to a store and buy a cheap plastic sink " -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:26 2
        
        sfek. "snake" to see if a bunch of stuff is clogged up in the drain. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:27 1
        
        cause it sorta sounds like the trap is clogged up. either that our that sink doesnt have a vent. -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:30
        
        What drips? - musubi Feb 23, 11:26 4
        
        And what the hell is a plug you set via the faucet? -- nm - Ender Feb 23, 11:39 1
        
        he is probably taking about the drain stopper, which you can pull out if needed. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:40
        
        the base of the sink, where the pipe connects. Underneath. - Beryllium Feb 23, 11:30
        
        (me too) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:27
  - What the other guys said. The U pipe holds a bit of water that creates a seal to preven sewer gasses from coming back up. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 11:23 2
    - as a bonus, it means your wedding ring won't drop straight into the pipe! -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 11:25 1
      - Yup. You can easily remove that pipe and get your ring back. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 11:27
  - its a trap, its basically a way to keep sewar gasses from coming out the drain. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:22
  - vapour rises and gets trapped in it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:21 1
    - Okay.....thanks all. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:24
I'm not even sure why it's supposed to be funny. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:18 2
- twenty years of puzzle solving in video games ... plumbing becomes "This is a puzzle. I know this." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 11:21 1
  - Oh, *video* games! -- nm - mara Feb 23, 11:27
Someone spoil me on what it was supposed to reference? - con_carne Feb 23, 11:18 6
- what? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:19 5
  - Well, it seemed to be referencing something I don't know about cause I did not get it. - con_carne Feb 23, 11:22 4
    - the most direct vg reference would be Bioshock. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:28 2
      - I took it to be a reference to Pipe Mania/Pipe Dream. -- (link) - Ender Feb 23, 11:34 1
        
        super mario bros -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 11:41
    - I don't get how you got to The Fighter. - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:25
