Review on Snappy Trap Special Kit For Double Kitchen Sinks With Limited Vertical Distance Between Sink Strainers And Wall Drainpipe by Troy Coste

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am absolutely thrilled to avoid a plumbers visit and DIY all by myself!

Absolutely Amazing! I have a little plumbing experience replacing washers, a new float or flapper on the toilet, a faucet; but never the drain. From gathering tools, taking out the old pipes, cleaning up and testing the plumbing it took me 1 & 1/2 hours! I watched the videos on you tube, read the directions and just took my time. It was easy! My husband couldn't believe that I had done it with a kit from ebay. The worst problem I had installing the new pipes was some of the awkward angles wanted to cross thread. (The hardest thing was to get the old pipes removed!) After installing the Snappy trap I tested everything and saw no leaks. After running my dishwasher I did have a few drops under the sink. I crawled back in and determined I had cross threaded that pipe. I took it back apart applied some plumbers tape to the joint and put it back together. No more leak! I really recommended this product! I am planning on replacing the pipes in both my bathrooms with this system as I work my way through the house. It also freed up extra room under my sink. I am redoing my kitchen and that space is valuable As a DIY stay at home mom, I felt I had nothing to lose for $30a plumbers visit costs a lot more and if it didn't work out I could return it to ebay.

Pros
  • Easy To Install, No tools needed.
Cons
  • The kit may not work well with sinks that are frequently used
