Ceramics sink trap not draining

Discussion

Hi @CeramicsTechs
The box under the sink is not draining/draining extremely slowly and has overflown.

I’ll finish my cleanup by putting my water into containers on the side, but is there anything I can do about the drainage?

Okay it seems fine actually. As long as I am careful not pouring too much water down the sink at once it doesn’t cause any problems. Lesson learned

Thanks! Yeah, it is a bit annoying just drains very slowly so need to keep an eye on it whole using…

The sink in the wood work shop is also draining slowly. I suspect clay has settled the full length of the waste pipe , which is unfortunately the full length of the arch. I did fit an access cap at the metalwork end should it ever need rodding. However I did not plumb in the sink in the ceramics area so I do not know if the rodding eye was left in.

I will try to have a look Sunday

Thanks - let me know! The clay trap should be trapping the majority of the clay so I would hope that is not the reason but if it turns out it is we can think of a better clay trap system?
