This is for a rental unit, so I’m trying to keep the cost low, while also sealing it away from silverfish. I have very fine steel wool on hand as well as a tube of DAP ultra clear flexible all purpose sealant.
Very helpful! One of the pipes is hot water to a sink and the other two are cold water and wastewater.
