Double Vanity faucet hook up

[Jerod Mickelson]

I had a plumber out here to convert piping from a single vanity to a double vanity. He capped the ends and a week later I am now installing the vanity and faucets.

First snag I am running into is he used a 1 1/2 inch threaded male connector. (1st Photo) The p trap I used for a faucet was 1 1/4 inch. I went to Home Depot and was able to used to different connections to be able to make it work (2nd photo). Well it worked for one.

The second lined up directly behind the drain and there is not enough room to make the connections (3rd Photo), photo also shows that the 1 1/4 doesn't fit.

If I try to use the connection from Home Depot, the P trap then doesn't fit (4th Photo)

If there was a smaller connector, I believe there might be enough room (example 5th Photo), just don't know what that connector is

Last Photo is the connector that work on the other sink because they were not lined up

Any help would be appreciated

They make 1.5" PVC and fittings. Most of the time we use a 1.5" trap with a 1.5" x 1.25" reducing slip joint washer for a lav tailpiece.

You can also opt for the 1.25" p-trap and the reducing trap adapter from 1.5" to 1.25"

I carry traps like this on the vans, everything comes in the bag and it works for lavs (1.25") and kitchen sinks, (1.5")

This is what happens when someone tries to set up plumbing for fixtures that aren't present.
1 1/4 tubular traps can go directly into 1 1/2 trap adapters, you just use the appropriate slip joint
nut and washer, no extra fittings required. For the too-close wall piping, it seems some more
drastic pipe-moving will be needed. There might be some special "zig-zag" offset pipe for
your sing tailpiece, or you just might have to open the wall and move the drain outlet.

Do the right thing - customize each drain, and avoid using an accordion (or corrugated) flex drain.

IMG_8053, IMG_8066, and maybe IMG_8062 show the problem side I think. Has that trap adapter, similar to IMG_8067, been glued into place already?

If it has been already glued, there are slip elbows that could give you some offset.

There are slip joint elbows available in 45s and 90s.

You use a short piece of 1.5 inch tube into the trap adapter. To that, add the the slip joint elbow, which then accepts your trap tailpiece.

Alternatively, get a metal or plastic slip joint double off-set and cut it. Stick the cut end into the trap adapter instead of the current white pipe.

If the trap adapter has not yet been glued, that offers a different option.
