I`m ready to damn scream here. I replaced the p-trap for my kitchen sink. The old one was brass and had a hole in it. The drain side is a brass pipe. I replaced the trap with a black plastic one (abs?) The side going to the basket strainer is fine, no leaks. But the side going to drain just keeps on dripping no matter how tight I turn it. I was told i did not need a washer/gasket in it, but i tried it both ways, and both ways drip. Should I cut the threads off the brass pipe and put some kind of compression fitting on? Thanks for all help. I`m afraid i will crack the plastic if i keep on cranking on it. Patt.
