Thank you wwhitney very much for the comments.FWIW, tubular plastic is typically polypropylene, not PVC or ABS, but the material doesn't matter, since the joint is a compression joint on the outside of the tube.
I don't know if you're going to find a tubular 22.5 degree bend. So if you want a 22.5 degree bend, the best bet if you need to cut the trap arm is to use a solvent weld ABS 22.5 degree bend, then a trap adapter.
The current trap is removable by undoing the black hub joint and the trap adapter, so you might see if that give you enough access.
Cheers, Wayne
I was looking for ABS slip joint connection like Keeney 1-1/2-in Plastic Straight Coupling, but I could not find. I guess they do not make this slip joint in ABS form. This would be the best if I cut the trap arm at point B. I do not need to use the ABS cement.
I will remove the current ABS P trap to see if this removal will give enough access for the work. Otherwise, I need to do your following suggestion.
