Hello everyone,
a colleague installed my bathroom sink. During installation, he noticed that the threaded nipple for the overflow is too short, so the overflow hose cannot be attached with the included gasket. He simply left out the gasket and sealed it from behind with silicone. So far, so good. But: he installed the hose horizontally instead of vertically downwards. Now the water doesn’t drain properly through the overflow. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this or whether these silver "parts" for the overflow exist in a longer version? IKEA couldn’t really help me with this. At the hardware store, I didn’t see anything suitable at first glance. The sink is an IKEA Braviken. Has anyone had a similar problem? Also, the P-trap is installed somewhat oddly. Probably the pipe is too long, right?

By the way, there’s a video showing the installation and even better systems from Ikea.Thanks to all of you, I have seen the video as well. But which better systems do you mean, @tomtom79? And yes, @driver55, he also used the instructions. The problem was that the threaded part of the ring (the silver piece) was too short for the thickness of the basin wall once the gasket was added.
By the way, forget about Ikea’s customer service. They offered me the kitchen sink siphon as an alternative.
