I recently installed one of these:

the nut side is taking a 1 1/2" polypropylene pipe made by Oatey. There was no washer supplied and it wasn't clear to me that the supplied nut would actually seal with that type of pipe. So I used instead one of these
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-1...th-Rubber-Reducing-Washers-HDC2698C/316622089
since they were used at all the other slip joints on this drain install. The pointy end of the 1 1/2" washer is facing into the trap adapter. In testing it did not leak, even when a whole sink of water was dumped through the drain. Several days later and it is still dry.
Was that an acceptable solution, or should some other sort of washer and the nut supplied with the trap adapter have been used instead?
