Smile How to remove metal p-trap under sink?

Hi,

I am trying to fix a clog under my bathroom and kitchen room sink. I have been successful in loosening the large nut and screw things that hold the pipes together, But I am having a really hard time removing the actual p-trap. Is it glued on or something?

Thank you for help
Amalia Markous

I'll ask my 11 year old granddaughter

Is this a joke or spam?

Boy Amalia, you sure have bad luck with plumbing! Maybe you should find a plumbing contractor and invite him/her to dinner!

Any pictures?

What's a p-trap?



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt

I'm positive that those are U-traps. Just have a good look at one-it's a U!

Yep, and now sounds like we got a SPAMTRAP instead of a p trap.
