Am I just stupid or is there a standard wastepipe fitting?

    Hi

    I'm probably just being really stupid but here goes

    I had a blockage in the main sink - chemicals didn't work so I removed the S shaped waste pipe and cleaned it out. Problem solved or so I thought

    When replacing the trap I tightened the middle seal in such away that it was leaking but broke the threads and couldn't loosen it

    In order to have a working sink I replaced this pipe with the one from the smaller "sink". This resolved the leak in the main sink

    I've bought 2 different waste pipes for the smaller sink but both are the wrong size and can't connect to the main waste pipe. (All of the connecting parts fit but they're too big as a unit).

    So do I have an odd setup or is there something I'm missing? The name on the pipes that fitted was Truflow BTW

    Thansk

    There is 1.1/2" standard for a kitchen sink and 1.1/4" usually used on a bathroom basin.

    Just bring the old trap and the providers will give you the right one.
