P Trap leak

industries

I had to replace the pop up drain in my bathroom sink. I'm reattaching the p trap, and the back part that connects into the pipe coming out of the wall leaks. I am using the same pipes, and they did not leak before. What am I doing wrong?

I did take the p trap off to put the pop up drain in place. Is it possible I lost a washer somewhere?

Thanks.

It is likely that you dropped a nylon seal out of the trap. Should be 1-1/4". Look around the floor for it. Most are light in color (like silicone colored) and can easily be missed.

I've just recently got into having to do some plumbing here and there to my own problems and helping some other people out so take what I have to say lightly. When you say coming out of the wall I am assuming you talking about incoming water and not a drain. If you are talking about the screw on lines then just like already stated you probably lost a gasket somewhere.. Happened to me. If you are talking about actual incoming pvc water supply then be sure you have used primer following a generous supply of pvc glue on top of the primer before reconnecting.
