Hello,
I recently replaced a pedestal sink with the same exact model, as my wife broke the sink. Everything worked fine with no leaks before the replacement. We decided to get a new faucet however. I reinstalled everything just as it was, including the location of the wall mounting bracket for the sink and the pedestal.
Unfortunately, when the sink is lined up correctly to the bracket and on the wall how it was, the end of the drain is only bout 1 1/2 inches from the wall discharge. The P-trap I have is about double that width. I can get it to connect, but it causes torque on the drain, causing a gap and leakage regardless of how tight it is. The drain is not pointing straight down as it should, it points toward the wall. I am quite frustrated with this.
Can I get a P trap arm that is closer together? I mean a sharper 180 degree bend? What else could I do to remedy this situation?
Thanks for any advice. I could also take a picture if you don't get what I mean from my description.
Thanks a lot for any assistance,
Pat
