From their owner: One of the most common appliance issues we work on here in Dallas is the trap. Here's the proper way to install a trap. First, slide a slip jamnut up onto the fixture tailpiece or the baffle tee. Follow this with a slip washer - it's flat side up. The washer will grip the tailpiece, holding the nut in place.
Now, push the trap's J-bend up to meet the nut and run the threads up just tight enough to keep everything from slipping off. Now you can slide the trap's arm into the trap adapter at its waste opening. If the arm doesn't quite reach, it may be extended with an adjustable tailpiece. If it's too long, you can cut it shorter. Or we can assist with this process if you are unsure.
Finally, when local codes don't permit slip coupled traps in a washer or dryer, you can use a solvent welded Dallas Patter P-trap. Also, if your kitchen sink has been provided with two separate openings, you won't need a continuous washer set up.
