Novice to the forum, so hope this is the right area to post a Sink Drain project question. This is a guest bathroom sink drain pipe project. All PVC pipes below are 1.5 inch. Wanted to get your feedback on whether this proposed solution would pass an inspection.
Background is that the Bathroom Cabinet installers came by this weekend and decided to cut off my existing bathroom single sink PVC drain pipe almost flush with the Cabinet. Not happy about it but perhaps I should have been a bit more explicit about my expectations. (pic 1).
So I got a few opinions and what I decided on was sticking a new J pipe into the cut pipe and wrapping them with a rubber coupling - one with the metal collars you can screw tighten around the coupling. So now the existing cut PVC drain pipe is coupled to the J pipe. (pics 2 and 3)
All feels pretty secure. I pulled on both the coupling and pipe after achieving the desires tightness and it's secure. The new PVC J pipe slid pretty far into the cut pipe - to the point where i think it almost touches the back of the T joint in the wall.
In case it matters, i'm planning to turn the single sink into a double sink so there will be a lot of hardware attaching to this drain connection.
Another guy suggested I buy the PVC primer and glue and fix it that way. Never used that stuff before though. One thing I really don't want to do is go into the wall. Much higher risk of damaging something back there.
