Connecting Utility Sink

[kwollenw]

Needed to replace an OLD utility sink in the garage. I got it out, but the ptrap seemed to be soldered into the cast iron waste pipe T directly (nothing threaded). In order to get the old brass ptrap out, I had to heat the T until the solder flowed and I could pull the pipe out. Question is, now what do I replace it with? Do I put in another brass pipe or is there some way to put a threaded end on to make future repairs simpler?

Thanks,

You will probably need to cut out the old tee and install a new tee, without seeing this this is what I'm assuming you have.

Thanks a lot. I attached a link to the picture. I can't tell, but it almost looks like there is a brass insert in the T that the ptrap was soldered to. I was wondering if maybe Is there an easy way to get that out?

Thanks,
Kevin

Yes, make two cuts about an 1/4" apart and remove the 1/4" "sliver". Then use a hammer and chisel to "bend" the brass thing so it closes the gap where you took the piece out. It will then unscrew easily.

Worked like a charm...You guys are the best. Thanks.
