Howdy all,
Classic problem, I'm sure... but didn't see a solution immedatley in searching the existing posts.
We're in the middle of replacing our sinks in our guest bath, and since the new sinks are a different style and size, the sink drain hole doesn't line up with the existing trap. The drain hole on the new sink sits about an inch further away from the wall than the old one.
The obvious answer is to move the trap further away from the wall - except that, due to the joints and elbows that are in place right now, it would require cutting the pipe off flush with the wall - providing nothing to attach to.
I've looked at the flexible "form-n-fit" type tailpipes, but they won't fit due to the new sink sitting deeper, not to mention they seem more of a kludge.
How would you solve this problem if faced with it? Surely using some sort of rubber hose OR flexible PVC is frowned upon.
Thank you,
Marc
