Installing P trap for the first time..chrome or plastic?
- Thread starter Andrew21
- Start date
The original piping had an angle and I think a brass trap. Stupid me tossed it out when I demo the kitchen.
anyway, if you look at everything head on, The waste pipe is about 4 inches to the left of the strainer. Hope that helps

Forget about the adapter it will be harder to find the adapter than get a brass trap
WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! I did it! 
It all worked out. I used MAP gas and let me tell ya..the fittings heated up quicker and since I prepped it good, the solder went in correctly. Although the solder didn't come out as pretty as a pro would do it, its done and the rest of the fittings were cake.
Thank you all!

Usually to get that clean look at the joint after soldering you wipe the joint with a damp rag shortly after applying the solder just FYI.
Just make sure that you wipe away from your arm and not towards it I have caught some wayward solder on my skin before not a fun experience.
MAPP gas is always the way to go it burns much hotter than propane.

MY Gawd! It's a thing of beauty!
Nice job!
I'm still not thrilled with the basket strainer, but it's a whole bunch better than what you had!
