I'm painting, updating my old bathroom. House is circa 1925.
The sink drain goes into a chrome slip fit nut, then into a P-trap that has what looks like a socket fitting that joins what I call a spud tube with built in bell that mates the wall. It is all chromed, with some pitting.
How are those pieces attached? I'm assuming the spud is threaded onto a nipple or into a coupling in the wall and the trap part is sweated to the spud. What's the trick to getting that out? Odds that it will happen leaving useable threads?
The supply lines for the toilet and sink come up via long chrome nipples. Basically I have the same question; what are the odds the nipple will come out leaving useable threads? Tips?
Thanks
