Go down the home depot plumbing aisle, you'll see many plumbing parts for sale, including transparent p-trap parts. But we have noticed an alarming rate of cracked p-trap with the Home Depot Everbilt brand, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it. Until we do, we are advising for these clear ptrap, Home Depot Should STOP SELLING them, and You STOP Buying them.

If you have a p trap leaking under your sink shortly after installing a transparent ptrap from Home Depot, you'll often find the p-trap cracked at the nut threads where the central compression joint is, in the middle of the trap seal on the output of the P-Trap.

Not only have we seen this plumbing disaster, but others have reported to us about a p trap leaking at threads, when they did not over tighten, or use tools, they only hand tightened, just like us. Please note, this cracked P-Trap/leaking ptrap plumbing fail does not happen with the white poly P-traps, those have been perfect for us over the years. This problem only plagues the transparent P-traps, which are made of ABS plastic, rather than the poly plastic. Even the manufacturers of these P-traps have admitted the transparent P-traps are more brittle than the white Poly P-traps.
