Dale, Yes, it's quite different, The threaded "tail" from the drain takes an inch and a quarter slip nut and has a flange shaped plastic insert that is pushed up against this tail by a small flange on the top of a piece of smaller pipe with the afore mentioned slip joint nut holding this all together.
This first pipe is maybe 2 inches long and is a kind of joiner between the drain and a further set of slip joint pipes that bring the drains from the two sinks together and go through the trap and into the cast iron sewer. The old stuff had no washers in the slip joint nuts but the new nuts came with square cross section washers but with a washer in the top fitting where it goes up against the larger drain pipe, the nut won't thread on enough to stay put. I suspect that slow drain is most of the problem causing the backup that leaves the pipe full long enough to leak. I'm beginning to think the vent is stopped cause it bubbles a lot when full. Thanks, will continue to thrash this weekend.
