Hi gang,
First post on a plumbing forum - usually cars and hifi postings.
I'm in the middle of a kitchen renovation at my brother's place. The problem: I need to re-do the DWV connection for the double sink (all ABS) but the original installation is very tight and is in the wrong place for the new sink. So tight that each connection is made using almost no pipe so I can't just cut a pipe and attach a new fitting to make the extension. There's maybe 1/8" of pipe visible between each of the connections from the trap to the dishwasher "Y" to a 45 to the santee etc.
So, here's the dumb question of the year: is there a proper/accepted way to dismantle a joint on 1-1/2" ABS allowing re-use of a pipe stub or the inside of a mating fitting?
Fortunately I need to make the connection longer, not shorter.
Tks,
AD
