I had to replace the pop up sink stopper in the bathroom, the tailpipe
is rusted and needs to be replaced as well, the trap looks ok, don't want to
try to remove as I am afraid of damaging the pipes, trying to fit a pipe wrench
in there isn't easy.
Photo #1 is the part that I need to replace,(1 inch in diameter).
It is rusted and leaking.
I went twice to the hardware store and both were too big(1 3/8) (1 1/4).
Even with an extra gasket it wasn't a straight fit. They told me that is the smallest
size that they have(1 1/4) for the tail piece.
I already installed the new pop up under the sink as well as a small extension pipe underneath. How do I go about finishing this? Thanks in advance.
