I'm installing a new kitchen sink and I'm planning on using all pvc glue fittings from the baskets to the wall connection. I hate the slip nut and washer type drain fittings that in my experience will leak sooner or later. I know I'll have to cut it apart if I have a problem but I figure I'll just use rubber couplers if that happens. I never have plugged drains but I've had it with leaky pipes. Are solid glue ups done very often? Any other potential problems with this setup? Thanks
 
Tubular trap assemblys arent allowed here. Ive never used them, and ive never had a problem clearing a drain using a ptrap with a cleanout on it and/or a line cleanout
 
Properly installed, I have seen very, very few leaks with slip joint connections. That is what I use under sinks, and I just don't get call backs for leaks.

Now, I have seen trouble with people using those ridiculous flexible fittings and traps, or flipping a trap over when the drain arm is too high.
 
Yeah, I've seen your work. Been following you around taking these pics.

:D Just kidding

Does this apply to bathroom sinks as well?
