Okay. I removed a corner sink from a small bathroom. I replaced the sink with a corner tile countertop and vessel sink (one that the basin sits atop the countertop). After installing the counter, I set about installing the sink. Unfortunately, I neglected a key aspect in my planning.
Now, the drain pipe hangs down from the sink at a horizontal distance of about 6 inches from the end of the p-trap fitting that it would connect to. No matter how I rotate the p-trap, it will be too far away. The outgoing drain is horizontal, and since the plumbing is exposed, I need to be able to do everything in an appealing chrome.
I went to the local hardware store, which in general is great for advice, and they told me that my only option was to use a flexible plastic pipe that attaches to the drain and then can be manuevered to fit into the p-trap. I am looking for other options.
One thing that I thought of was to use an s-trap instead of a p-trap. Is this okay for horizontal outgoing drain pipe? I also thought about contrapting a double L joint that would breach the distance between the sink drain pipe to the p-trap. If anyone has any ideas on this it would be very much appreciated. I would think this would be a common mistake for first-time remodelers, but usually I can easily find guidance in that case. Right now I am feeling like a true moron...
