p-trap

I replaced vanity top with new sink and faucet. Home is from 1988. Seem the drain pipe from the wall is metal and protrudes maybe 5". There is a P-trap connected to it (the elbow part seems just pressed on to the end of the metal pipe as I cannot seem to unscrew it, etc.). Unfortunately...

I'm remodeling my master bathroom and going with a Kerdi channel drain and larger shower extending to where we used to have a sink. I tied the new drain where the sink drain used to be. I'm wondering whether the vent should have been connected closer to the p-trap. This is the first time I do...

Main problem: a bathtub in a 1920s house is draining very slowly. P-trap is brass connected to a galvanized drain line. Furnace ducts block access to the drain line & even if I could access the area, I'm doubtful that I could get the P-trap off. Since everything is old, I'd rather not create...

Hello, I have two questions about our basement bathroom sink plumbing. I’ve attached three pictures to show the plumbing. The first picture shows that the sink drains vertically into a cast iron pipe in the floor. [This is how the builder’s plumber did the rough in.] The second picture...

I appreciate your advice on this freestanding bathtub rough-in done by my renovation contractor. Is this set-up correct? If not: what is wrong with it? If we used this set-up: what might be bad impact/consequences? Most important: What should be the correct and best/practical set-up? Please...

I’m installing a new 2nd floor bathroom with a freestanding tub. (There is a separate shower and toilet with its own drain.). The drain we can use is the 1 1/2” vent pipe coming from the 1st floor tub/shower combo. This exits to the roof on one end, a septic on the other. 12” wood floor but I...

First time doing any plumbing in 69 years of life and it is way out of my field. I saw a post from 2016 from DanW about my issue, but can't figure out how to add a question to this. My P-trap is very slightly off from the pipe coming from the sink. My neighbor stopped by to show us what to do...

I see lot's of interesting things on my jobs. I was fixing the alignment of the lav faucet here and when I went inside the cabinet, I saw what I saw on the left. My mind was going wonky looking at it so I pulled a new p-trap from the van and cleaned it up a bit. The fix is on the right.

Hello all I have a shower with a cast iron P-trap that is leaking. At first i was hoping to cut out the old trap and splice a new abs one in with a rubber coupling, but the trap arm is not long enough to have a nice square cut with enough material for a coupling. I might get 1" of usable...

Can (must) P-trap be directly underneath the drain in stand-up shower stall? I'm roughing in a 48"X36" one piece shower stall with a center drain. In the photo I've just got it dry fit. This is the way I "think" it's supposed to go? I can't imagine moving the P-trap any closer to the vent, as...

Hi, I have chrome p-trap under vanity sink which is leaking inspite of changing the gasket in between trap and the waste pipe. I tried to put new gasket as well as ptrap. But still is leaking through the swivel at the waste pipe joint. Wondering if putty/tape can be applied to stop the leak...

I have a second floor shower/tub. The P-trap dips significantly below the first floor ceiling joists so the outlet can run across the joists, which results in about another 10 inches of ceiling depth. I would like to raise the P-trap so that the outlet can run directly under the joists and I...

JB makes a Bayonet P-Trap in their tubular line for hooking up plumbing fixtures. It's a twist and lock using O-Rings and sleeves. This side fits over a 1.25" tailpiece for a lavatory.

Hello, I'm no pro so sorry if there are any mistakes in terminology. I'm about to rent an old house in Norway. The shower there looks as terrible as the smell which comes from the drain. The sink and toilet are ok. Could you please advise if the drain in the picture looks altight and if the...

I have had sewer gas leaking into my basement for a while now. I have narrowed it down to the laundry room where there is a 4" clay p trap in the concrete, drain on one side and a cleanout cover on the other. I think this is the culprit but not entirely sure. Also on the drain side is my...

Hello, Sorry to post yet another P trap question but after much searching in this forum and others I couldn't find my particular variant. I'm new to both owning a home and being my own plumber so go easy on me please! My bathroom sink was draining slowly so I took out the P trap and...

Hello. I have a chrome pipe coming out of the wall under my kitchen sink that I can't get out. We were able to pull it out about an inch with a strap wrench, but now it's cracked half way around and I'm afraid it's going to break off and we won't have a good way to grip it. Is there a...

Hey all, I've been lurking for awhile and finally have a question that I think would benefit from the advice on this site. I'm going to be moving my kitchen sink drain from one wall to another. Fortunately, the current drain/vent line is just a few feet away (in the basement) from the sink's...

Hi. I've encountered a problem while trying to install a decorative (chrome) p-trap under a console sink. The stubout coming from the wall attaches to the in-wall plumbing via an elbow. As a result, the connection point between the drain pipe and stubout extends 3 inches from the wall. I...

Long story short, some mortar was poured down our bathtub drain in our basement, it hardened and now needs to be replaced. We were told by our home insurance company that our home is new enough (2007) that our p-trap could possibly be located in the wall vs. the foundation but that they'd have...
