WingTite funnel upgrade

A leak was discovered under the standing shower drain. When the old drain fitting was removed, we noticed the drain pipe was very far off center resulting in uneven pressure on the compression seal of the old fitting. Due to concerns about a failure of the WingTite O-ring as a result of uneven pressure, an ABS funnel was installed to divert water directly down into the drain pipe. The O-ring now serves primarily as a backup seal!

Great idea. I found a plastic funnel with a spout for 2" pipes that I will try to mod.

Any update as to how it's functioning today? It looks good as long as it's got silicone or plumber's putty underneath to seal it.

Yep, still working fine without any problems.

I know this is a really old video, but if there's any way you'd be willing to share the CAD file with me, I'd be willing to send you some dough. I just got a 3D printer, and this would be a great first project for me. Either way, thanks so much for posting this!

Should be included what upgrade what if you are get a sewer backed up into the shower
@aphex4000
@aphex4000 2 года назад
Good question, I totally had not thought of that! The pipe is still coupled with the Wingtite connector and the funnel exit is only a tiny bit smaller in diameter than the pipe itself. It is possible that sewage backing up at high velocity could be an issue due to the slightly reduced pipe diameter (a couple of mm), but for a slow backup it should not be a problem.

This is a good point. Maybe a O-ring of correct diameter could be installed in-between the funnel and original pipe if the funnel had sufficient thickness to support the o-ring, or even a silicone caulk barrier might work? @@aphex4000

For those that "stumble on to" aphex4000's solution and would like to install something similar, I have uploaded a printable version to Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4706107

Can I buy one of these off of you? I have a wing tite drain I just installed and I would love this to give some added protection and peace of mind.

That's pretty awesome. Do you sell these by any chance? I'm getting ready to replace a shower drain on a leaky shower in my basement. I'm looking for something like this because the outside of the 2 inch pipe is scuffed up so I don't think it will seal that well with the o-ring.

+fleet wood Sorry, but I am not making these for sale. It was just an experiment conducted with my printer.

@@aphex4000 That is awesome. I actually wondered why something like that wasn't part of the original installation or if my plumber forgot to install a piece. Relying on the o-ring to seal it is so stupid. Any chance you could share the 3d model on www.thingiverse.com or one of the other model sharing sites for those of us with the same problem?

Where did you buy the ABS funnel? I know I will have to modify the ABS funnel myself after purchase.
@aphex4000
@aphex4000 8 лет назад
Hey George, the funnel was 3d printed specifically to fit the WingTite so it is is a perfect fit. I don't know if it adds any value at all, but printed it up just for fun.

+aphex4000 Ok, thanks for replying. If you are not interested in monetary comp, will you be able to share the dimensions of this experiment? I may have access to a 3D printer. It would give me added peace of mind around the wingtite repair in my master bathroom. It initially leaked and I added more silicone, but I would hate to find out by having gallons of water in my crawl space. Please consider it Aphex4000

Hey Arty! The funnel was 3D printed. The 3D model is simple and can be downloaded from the link in the description.
