It's apparent that I have something to learn here.

I'll find a time to make a tour of HD or Lowes and see if I can figure out what is going on. But first we have to get through this incoming hurricane / tropical storm / whatever. Since I live across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, I may need fittings even larger than 1-1/2 inch. A wild ride, as they say.

I was actually able to find 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 at my local Ace (St Louis area) and big box stores, just had a really hard time with connections -particularly to the sink. Also the joining TM drain pipes had strange notches not found on standard pipes or the local Ace pipes and, with additional fitting issue, decided to silicone all which I now see wasn’t very wise. At this point the leak is about gone and will either use Oatey or rescue tape until I get the time to fix it right.

Bill hope the storm stays away or has no impact!
