I need to figure a few things out with Help from you guys out there in Terry Love Land!
1- I need to change the size of the horizontal fitting from the drain. The connection that needs to come out is glued and everything else is glued all the way to the waste pipe also at the junction of the waste-vent there are burn marks so those should be redone correct? So how do I disconnect to reconnect with new joints when the old are glued?
2- For the p-trap under the drian, the joist is about 1/4" in the way of it going straight down. For the old p-trap the joist has been tapered down from the top, but I think I need to cut out more of it for the p-trap and the horizontal to connect properly to the rest (which includes the new size connecter. Can a p-trap have a side angle to it when it is up against a joist?
3- For the 1st connection from the p-trap should it be screwed or a slip connection or glued?
4- Is a hack-saw ok for cutting the pvc and is there a special blade. I have onebut am not sure about the blade.
