P-Trap Installation: Drain Doesn't LINE UP with Bathroom Sink Pipe - 2022 

Well! No nonsense, straight to the point. This must be the best tutorial video i have seen in a long time. I subscribed 👍 Thank you .

Meanwhile, in my world…..go to home center and discover they don’t have all the needed pieces in ABS or PVC, buy many elbow combinations of each, go home, still doesn’t work. Go back to home center, buy more stuff, repeat 4 more times, cut multiple lengths of pipe to make everything fit because the first 3 pieces were too long or too short. Take a break for dinner. Make sure no one uses the sink. Still doesn’t fit. Go back to home center and buy multiple universal kits with the bendy hose.. jury rig everything together , check for leaks, redo do 2 more times because there are leaks, tighten every connection just short of failure, no leaks, stand back and admire a job well done.

If this is really for beginners then I would recommend dry fitting everything before glueing a single piece. But a nice video. Well paced and easy to understand.

I work at Home Depot plumbing department and at least couple times a week I have to explain this very process to DIY customers, some understand it right away others I have to go over and over and over this process. Great video 👍🏻

This is the best, most straightforward video explaining this process that I've found. Thank you very much for sharing!! You probably just saved me HOURS of struggling 👍🙂

Great video. And finally someone understands background sounds that help you focus. Thank you.

Hope everyone noticed he used a " 1 1/2 " trap with a ground joint union. Well done

I probably don’t “like and subscribe” as often as a should, but this tutorial was so clear and straightforward, I had to. Well done, sir.

Not bad. The only thing that bugs me is that you didn't ream the inside of the cut pipes to ensure smooth flow. Little jagged ABS pieces can easily cling onto hair and start to cause clogs over time.

Very well done video! No wasted time, and no quickly skipping over the essential material. 👍🏆

Straight to the point. I am presently facing this situation and you answered my question simply and easily. Off to Home depot for that 45. I was not aware of the slope requirement. Thank you

Amazing video. You went over every single thing I needed to know. It’s also awesome to watch a professional at work, you make it seem so easy! As a DIYer I like how you held both pieces in one hand and the glue in the other. Will definitely do that next time instead of fumbling everything around since I don’t have a method lol.

Love the soothing music. Forgot i could chill out while I'm doing this

Great, it worked perfectly the first time right down to buying all the correct parts

EXCELLENT video. I've never had to deal with a 2" black pipe coming out of the wall like this before where any glueing of pieces was involved. Old house, new "opportunity" for learning I guess. This video was amazing!

Good work, straight to the point.

Thanks, you saved me a bunch of grief. The new rough in put the drain line more than 5" offset from the drain, I'm not sure why they did it that way, they had the utility sink for reference. I was trying to find fittings that would reach that far and had not considered using a bend to make an offset.

Nice clear explanation. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for making these videos. Saves me a lot of money so I don't make someone else Rich and rob me blind.❤😊

Great video. After watching it I have complete confidence I can do it without screwing it up. Thank you!

Excellent video and very diligent work ethics. I appreciate your hard work, time, and dedication. 🙏

your video is well explained but I was not aware of the slop. and most, you demonstrated a drain that is not in line with wall outlet and the p-trap connection.; that is very common. thanks and God Bless

Just got a quote from my plumber for this exact job and it’s $222. I get the “special” price because I’m a member. After watching this, I’m getting brave enough to take another crack at it thank you for making this video!

Thanks so much😊 This is very helpful. Solves leakage problem I was having under kitchen sink👍😊

Good Job. Very easy Illustrations.Thanks alot.

Excellent video. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. Thumbs up from a new subscriber.

Amazingly well done and just what I needed. Thank you!

A contractor that did my new vanity install "fixed" this problem by adding an s trap directly below the drain and having that go to the old p trap. I'm tired of it clogging so I'll have to give this a try

very good video with great explanation and workmanship. nice dry fit process to align the offset drain to the sink. thank you.

As others have mentioned, great video tutorial that is straight to the point! This is my first video of your channel that I have viewed, and if the others are like this, then you just gained a new subscriber! Thank you for making quality videos !

Great background music choice. Gives an interesting atmosphere 😊

Can you comment on why you used a trap adapter between the sink and trap instead of the standard tail extension with nut?

WARNING! Without knowing more about what's going on plumbing-wise in the wall behind the lavatory, it appears to me that this is an illegal installation (at least as far as plumbing codes in the U.S.A. are concerned). The installer breaks the minimum trap arm length requirement which, in this case (since he's using 1-1/2" pipe) is 3" (IOW at least twice the pipe diameter). He plumbs the outlet from the p-trap directly into the fitting marking the transition from horizontal to vertical when, instead, there needs to be at least three inches worth of trap arm between the trap weir and the vent weir. In essence, he's created a "crown vent" which is a no-no. Happy to be proven wrong.

Dealing with that problem now. Very usefull video ! THANKS !

Nice work, but didn’t think of future maintenance. It’s wrong that you glued the 90 to the 45 and the 45 to the wall pipe. When there is clog, it’s hard to unclog using a snake machine because the 90 is facing downward. One of the joints should have used a thread/removable adapter.

This is exactly my problem. I'm so inexperienced I didn't know 45bends are available. Back to town again tomorrow. Oh right, can I borrow your reciprocating saw? And extra batteries. And a 6-pack of Speights, ta. 12pack I mean.

Oscillating tool a must have, saw not used often as this useful tool.

Great video. Wish this video was around when I remodeled my kitchen. Installing the P trap was frustrating.

Great video, thank you very much, it was most helpful and achieved the best outcome, God bless!

Wow... I need to show this to my hardware store.

Thank you sir. I was about to have an ulcer over this exact issue.

Question from a noob, why is a 1/4" slope necessary?

Manveer good one as well . Thumbsup.

I have to preassemble and paint marker the pipes. The order that you glue I guess makes a difference.

How would you get it all apart in the future?

Thank you.very nice video.just perfect.

Great video, thank you. Subscribed, liked and saved to favorites.

You helped me big time Ty

How would you put a garbage disposal to these sinks?? I really like them but I havent seen one yet with a garbage disposal or seen a video to add a garbage disposal to these sinks. Most house in the U.S have garbage disposal in the kitchen sinks. Please could you explain how to add a garbage disposal to these waterfall sinks!! Thanks

What happens if it all fits but the slope you mentiin isn’t correct b/c i don't understand what your saying. I know what the word slope means but I'm not getting what I'm suppose to be doing

its obvious he is a pro, I can tell by the glue he uses

Even quicker, but the $9.99 flex P-trap rubber pipe. 2 clamps and cut to height or length. Installs in less than 2 minutes once you got the old parts out.

Exc instructional video thanks for posting

Almost invariably I use push-fit fittings, much easier to align, adjustable, & if I make a mistake, easy to rectify. The reason most builders (not most plumbers) use glued fittings, is that they are cheaper.

Vet good tutorial, I appreciate the video, if you do not do this all the time you forget things and cut corners by using flex ( I hate Flex) so Thank you Very much.

This is great! Thank you.

Why don't u use a ratchet cutter instead for cleaner cuts?

Na man, just always grab a bunch of extension tailpieces when you grab p-traps from the supply house. With the p-trap, 1 extension tailpiece cut in the middle and a 45, you should be able to solve all misaligned drain issues, excluding those that are really jacked up due to height like commonly seen on farm sinks where some hack job did a reverse p-trap or something to rig it up instead of opening the wall and correcting the height of the San-T

excellent videovideo

Very nice job

very informative video, very well explained.

Excellent! Thank you. 👍🏾

Would this work with a trap where the pipe exits through the floor instead of the wall?

Great video man But I really need your help I wanna ask some questions If you could respond before this day is over with Today is August 28th please sir

Very, very good. Well done.

Thank you! this was helpful

Thank you !!! Just subscribed.

Accordion pipes r the easiest 2 assemble! But must have a removable clean out filter with it.

Imagine being rich enough that you didn’t have to watch a RU-vid video to fix something yourself.

Thanks guy .. solved my issue.

Very well done vid. Thanks

thak u little idan man

that helped big time thanks

Great video, sure looked like mustard

Pretty good

What is the short piece called connected to the wall. I broke that piece off and I have the rest of the kit from a local store for $12. It didn’t come with that short piece 😢

What is the square plug on the wall? Can that be removed if you need to use that instead of the drain above? If so, how do you remove it, and can you swap the plug between the two?

This is why rough-in dimensions are so important when designing and installing a system. You can avoid all these headaches when it comes time to complete the drain.

Hi. I can't find the 45 angle that fits on the drain pipe you are showin. When I type in 45 degree it gives me a larger elbow looking one. Would you be able to tell me the exact name of that small piece?

Why so much works and fittings, you only need to cut the abs pipe on the wall and glue a 22,5 x 1,1/2 elbow, 4“ x 1,1/2 pipe and a abs adapter and use a 1,1/2 p-trup. Ready

Thanks for the video!

Hi what type of glue is used? What other tools are options to cut the pipes? I’m going to have to buy something to do that and I am looking for the least expensive option.

THANK YOU

Great video! Having a problem with the threaded end of the p trap leaking. Teflon tape, pipe dope or silicone seal? What do you suggest?

Very nice how to! Also, flexible drain pipes work wonders I found out haha

Once you see his glue bottle, you know he’s a pro.

I thought people were moving away from abs ? Also I have to make new p trap design for my sink which was built in the 90s. how do i tell tis abs or pvc. the writting on the side verse not? or plastic apperance?

They do make cutters for ABS pipe, better than sawsall

Здравствуйте ! Подскажите , почему у вас все соединения проклеиваются клеем, а не на резиновых соединениях ? У вас в стране свой стандарт ?

Hello what's the chain under the sink. Is that to reinforce the underground sink. If so what is it and where purchased

I need to do this except for the 45 degree piece at the wall. Can I cut the arm that sticks out of the wall and use a hub coupling to use another straight piece to connect with my new ptrap. The threads on the arm and new trap don't match so I'll have to cut. Ugh!

If you ever need more than a 45 degree fitting, cut the pipe coming out of the wall closer to the wall. For even less future issues, try and only use a 23.5 degree fitting. 👌🏻

I have a threaded copper drain pipe coming out of the wall. How do I connect that to my sink drain made out of ABS just like yours?

How come you didn’t install a removable p trap? To clean pipe if you have a clog.

Do trap size matter ? Smaller u shape better?

Awesome video!! I’m having a similar problem I just did a kitchen remodel and the 2” drain pipe coming out of the wall is now a lot lower than it was before and the trap won’t fit without notching the floor of the new cabinet. Does anyone have a work around so we can avoid notching the cabinet? Thanks in advance

Gluing everything together is ok until you have a clog and need to remove the P trap. Why not use the compression fittings to hold the drain together instead?

how do you connect 2 metal pipes together in the bathroom sink?

the P trap used is made of what material? also, can you elaborate more on how to check for slope?

This would take me about two weeks to complete and five different trips to Home Depot.
