[C320-list] Head sink drain

[Greg Flanagan]

Just a note on drains. I removed my galley double sink drains five years ago. I was surprised to see expensive sewage quality tubing and at least half a dozen SS clamps and a lot of silicone chalking on a very labor intensive drainage system. 

I bought a plastic off-the-shelf double sink drain system from my local building supply company for under $10. I didn’t need the traps and I had to cut the horizontal sections shorter as the double sinks are smaller than standard. All of the fittings were hand tightened on this system rather than chalked. It took me two hours to remove the original mess. And it took about ten minutes to install the new standard plumbing parts. All I could wonder is why a cost conscious boat builder would have constructed this drain! 

I haven’t done any thing on the sink head, however, I suspect it suffers from the same “sailboat” mentality. It’s just a sink drain (without a trap), so check out the cheep parts (plastic) in your local hardware. 

Cheers,
