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.

[@joeaverager]

Add in drive 70 miles round trip b/c the local Lowes doesn't have the same plumbing selection that the one in the next town does. Still not sure I have everything I need to make it work. I could order it from them but it won't be here for 5 days unlike the auto parts store which can usually have things for me within 24 hours...

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.

[@rayray8687]

Dry fitting can be difficult on friction-fit joints as they won’t always bottom out until they’re wetted with glue. You’ll probably end up cutting too short for a full fit. Better just to trust your tape.

[@stevelopez372]

@@rayray8687Yes simply measure depth of socket for good measurements. If you dry fit don’t forget to glue all of the joints,lol.😊

[@Francog413]

I'm helping my Mom out by installing two new vanities and sinks that are both smaller and offset from the old ones she had. This is the exact problem I wasn't exactly sure how to fix properly. This gave me all the confidence I needed to get it done! (Not a plumber. Just handy with things and a Son trying to help his mom save some money) Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Love it.

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Glad it helped. 👍

[@aaronbaraiya3692]

how did the install go?

[@TheSpatulaCity]

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.

[@rayray8687]

That bothered me too.

[@neli.a]

Did he glue the p-trap? 😮 Doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose, ie to remove and clear clog or obstruction?

[@petemiller519]

That bothered me three. I am not a pro, but I would install some cardboard on the bottom of the cabinet to prevent drips. I liked how he gave the bottle of glue a little tilt to get glue on the brush. He must have done thousands of sinks. Good video, don't mean to be picky. Cheers.

[@Faruk651]

@@neli.a The p tap has a threaded connection. You can always unthread the p trap and tail piece than take the p trap out to clean.

[@SosaTV]

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!

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Thanks for your feedback

[@anyone150]

Certain portions of plastic pipes are threaded to allow you to tie one segment to the next. This eliminates the need to glue one part to the next which is best avoided if possible. It will make it easier to take apart and reassemble if you need to clean out debris causing the drain to clog.

[@TheBuildingExpert]

Trap adaptor and union Ptraps make it easy to take apart for cleaning or maintenance. Because trap 90 is glued to the trap arm, line clean out is installed for drain cleaning. Thanks for your comment.

[@wc6975]

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.

[@tellfile]

How would you get it all apart in the future?

[@daboys1215]

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!

[@you2tooyou2too]

He used a 45deg because that pointed the pipe in the general direction of the trap (which can swing around for about a 10" range of position. If the drain were closer to the wall, and further away from the wall pipe, he could have used a 90deg, and of course if it were closer than 5", he would not have needed a bend at all.

[@gayledeswert2727]

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?

[@ck-4203]

Great video. So I have the same offset issue where a 45 is needed but with PVC. So could I do this by building out from the sanitary T as follows: 1) sanitary tee, 2) stubout, 3) street 45, 4) marvel connector, 5) PVC ptrap kit, 6) sink drain tail? Thanks!
