Installing a new sink. Finding the drain extension from the trap to the pipe coming out of wall is really stuck and I can’t move it at all. Hoping it’s not glued. Looking for suggestions to free pipe if it’s not glued. If it is glued, what are my options to work around? Thank you.
Unscrew the black nut closest to you all the way off. That should release the seal gasket.
If not... after the nut is off.... just turn the pipe slightly in either direction. That will loosen it.
It should not be cemented, it might just be tight and needs a bit more force.
BUT, who knows what the last person did, they could have used PVC/ABS cement, in which case there's no way you'll be able to pull it out. If that's the case, you'll need to cut off the black ABS pipe just behind the connector, and cement a new ABS slip joint connector onto that pipe. Then replace the p-trap as you normally would.
Thanks. I have tried to rotate insert. And i mean really tried. Is it acceptable to use the flexible connection as shown in photo? I don’t see any negative to this.
The only negative is that the flexible tailpieces tend to collect gunk and clog more easily. But it's easy enough to clear out if needed, so I wouldn't go through a whole lot of hassle if the flexible one works for you.
It does look like it's a large offset and might be tough even with the flexible one. You can also get slip-fit elbows. Not 100% correct, but usable.
I put the p-trap with flexible riser on and it looked ok. Guess I’m too much of a perfectionist and felt it was a hack DIY fix. Today cut the ABS end off. Found the pvc was cemented in just on bottom. They likely put pvc extender in before cement was cured. Couldnt pry/chisel it out. Thank you dremel!
My 1” Watts regulator is failing and needs replacement (No rebuild kits available anymore). Looking at pictures, is there a direct “swop out” (screw out) possible, or do I need unsolder old one, and solder new one in?
Thanks!

We just started to clean the laundry room and when we moved the dryer, we saw that the wall where water line going outside is super moldy.
I tried to replace the outdoor faucet with a new one we have, but of course the screws are completely stripped from who knows when.
I wouldn’t be asking if this was drywall. But we have concrete walls (house built in 65).
how in the world do I get those stripped screws out, fix this and not break the bank?
i don’t know what I’m doing
last picture wouldn’t upload of the outside. Here is a link to it.
