I am replacing my bathroom sink/cabinet with a pedestal sink. I purchased a set of brass hardware; however, the p-trap will not fit the line coming out of the wall. The salesperson at the place I bought it said "it only comes in one size, it has to fit". Any suggestions? Do they sell an adapter or something?

 

P-trap come in 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" what size due you have?

Is it too small or too large?

Sounds like your trying to use a 1-1/2" trap on a 1-1/4" stub, if so get a 1-1/4" trap.

 

Or you have an 1-1/4" trap and a 1-1/2" stub coming out of the wall.

WHY BRASS???

The pedestal is going to hide the trap. A PVC trap will last pretty much forever -- brass will corrode in 10 to 15 years. PVC costs about 1/10 of what the brass trap does.

Put in a PVC trap and use the fat washer to convert from the 1-1/4" trap to the 1-1/2" stub, or just just a 1-1/2" trap!

 

The part your talking about could be a desanko. 1.5" X 1.25" if there is a hub of a fitting exposed to put this into.

If not, your looking for a trap or marvel adapter.......you have 1.5" out of wall.......and trap is 1.25",,then 1.5"X1.25" adapter.

Or, you can buy that same adaptor and use a 1.5" ferrule and straight connect if the trap is 1.5".

Or, you can use that same connector and use a 1.25" ferrule to go from 1.25" p-trap to 1.5"pipe.

They make a cone scussion that will fit either size trap you have to cover that fitting you need for the transition.



Might be confusing what I typed, but if you take a pic, one of us will know exactly what you need to get you connected.


All the fitting really is is a male adaptor made for the application for a pipe to go inside it with a nut with a built in compression ferrule or a separate ferrule that slides over the pipe and creates the the watertight seal. The ferrules come in two sizes, 1.25" and 1.5" for tubular PVC.
