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

In an ideal situation that drain coming out of the wall    will almost align with the sink drain and you will install it by just offsetting the p-trap   but if you remodel your bathroom  and drains are offset more than that Let me show you the easiest way to connect them   Welcome to my YouTube channel  and let's start by installing the trap adaptor on the tailpiece.  This is an 1-1/4 by 1-1/2 trap adaptor keep it in the middle of the tailpiece So you can raise or lower it if needed to gain the correct slope    and dry fit the p-trap on the drain. Now use the measuring tape to measure the length of the pipe   that will fit between the p-trap and trap adaptor. now cut the piece you just measured Glue the p-trap and trap adaptor together using the piece we just cut. Make sure you use correct type of cement I am using ABS cement as i'm using ABS pipe Now put the assembled piece back on the tailpiece and snug it with your hand. Because our drain coming out of the wall and sink drain are offset from each other we need to use a 45 fitting to divert the drain angle    towards the sink drain. To do that, Dry fit the 45 on the drain pipe   to make sure they align. If they don't You need to adjust the length of the drain pipe    coming out of the wall Length of the drain pipe will depend on how offset both drains are. If they align glue the 45 back on the drain and check for slope. You need 1/4" slope per foot on an 1-1/2" drain pipe. now again align the p-trap with the 45 and measure the piece that will go between them In my case it's 2-1/2" unscrew the 90 from the p-trap and glue the piece we just cut into the 90. now glue the 90 into the 45 and tight everything together and check for slope. In my case drain is flat so i am going to loosen the slip joint   and raise it by 1/4" to have a 1/4" slope on the pipe.
