Hello-
I have a plastic utility sink in my basement that was disconnected by some horrible contractors a few months back, and never reconnected.
The sink drain pipe is a 3/4 or 1" copper pipe. Nearby is a 1.5" PVC trap that goes to the houses exit pipes.
The top of the trap has the threading on the outside of it, and there is a round PVC piece (looks like an earring - hollow middle) that screws on top of the trap, but somehow, the copper drain pipe is too narrow to fill the space between. I think there was a piece on the copper drain pipe that helped link the "earring" and the trap, but I haven't a clue what it was. Going to Home Depot, I bought what I thought was the right pieces, 1.5" PVC cap and extender, but it wasn't.
I would appreciate ANY advice that anyone can offer as to how I can link the copper drain pipe and PVC trap. It is probably something really easy, but since I'm not much of a plumber/handyman, I'm just missing it.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!
