Hello Forum,

I put In a new sink and this sink aligns differently than the last owners sink. I have all of the tools, new tail piece, p trap, trap arm, etc...

The pipe coming out of the wall is very close to the tailpiece, only about 2 inches from it, which is causing me issues, which is my 1st issue, but the main problem is the middle opening of the wall pipe going out to the sewer almost aligns with the tailpiece, leaving me no room to attach the p trap and arm into the sewer pipe. How can I c

I have included pictures below. Most of the pictures are to show what my problem is. Please let me know how I can fix this problem, as I do not want to have to modify the sewer pipe, as it seems to be glued in when I tried to turn it with a wrench..

Also, the pictures of the garbage disposal is something I was able to hook up, please let me know if this looks correct, no leaking on that guy after I tested it.


1- Is there any way to make more distance between the tail piece/ ptrap connection, and the sewer line coming out of the wall, without cutting the pipes back further?

2- Is there anything I can do so the tailpiece does not interfere with the opening where my trap arm should go?

First of all 2 traps on one trap arm is not to code. Tm arm is the line going into the wall before it connects to santee and vent.

Going to have to cut the coupling off between the branch of the dbl wye and the 1/8h bend with the threaded trap adapter. peel off the coupling in between. add a new coupling and a longer pc of pipe to move a new 1/8th bend out a another inch or 2
