Hello everyone......I have 2 questions.....I'm replacing my bathroom vanity with a "freestanding" vanity......sort of furniture looking? has 4 legs that it rests on, and vanity top will sit on top of unit....drawers underneath.....
My question #1: I have PVC piping from the wall (1-1/2" pipe).......local HD advised me to go with 1-1/4" P-Trap, and just use coupling adapter to get there.......Is there any benefit to using 1-1/4" vs. 1-1/2" for vanity sink? Advice that I received was that the configuration that HD had available would allow for this setup to be dismantled, if necessary, vs. cemented/permanent for the 1-1/2" setup that was available.....I suppose each will work just fine, but wondering on the pro/con of each?
Question #2: Does the freestanding vanity, itself, need to be secured to the stud(s), to prevent movement as a precaution?
Thanks for any advice out there...
