in a movie a woman is fixing something wrong with her kitchen sink, she says" has a can of this ever worked? the label should say take 2 dollars and pour them down the drain, except it wouldn't go, it would sit there n some greasy water till waiting for some crumpy guy with his butt crack and plumbing tools..." should translate the word can here as pipes (water pipes) or should it be معلبات since we're in the kitchen and she was cooking and she's talking about some king of label. Thank you very much

علبة
It's not pipes, of course, and not معلبات either, because معلبات in Arabic means canned foods. It is simply a box of something used to open the drain, as I understood from the text.
Example sentence:
I bought a can of paint.
