Just put in a new kitchen sink and wondering if anyone else struggled this much

I get what you mean about overcomplicating things in the name of going green. When I swapped out my sink, I debated push-fit vs. glue too—how do you even know if those seals will hold up after years of shoving stuff under there? Did you notice any weird smells from the low-VOC pipes? I always wonder if it’s worth the hassle or just marketing hype.

I’ve wondered about the low-VOC stuff too. I used them once and didn’t notice any weird smells, but I’m not sure if that’s just luck or what. Push-fit always makes me nervous—feels too easy, you know? Ever had one pop loose after a while, or am I just paranoid?
