Hi PlumbingForums!
Long time listener, first time caller here! I’m in need of a bit of what I hope is easy plumbing advice.
The background: I’m in lovely New York City, where all fixtures are old and suck. I’m doing a DIY kitchen counter / sink / faucet replacement. The counter and backsplash went in today and now I’m on the plumbing, where I’ve run into an issue.
The issue: my cool new sink is 1) smaller, 2) deeper, and 3) located slightly to the right of where my old sink was. Thus, the drains aren’t lining up quite right and the tailpiece from my new sink is a way too long.
What’s my best bet here? Having the tail piece cut down? Leaving the tailpiece as is and coming up with a new connector to the P-trap? Do I just need to have a plumber get involved?
Since I’m on a budget, le$$ is more.
Please find pics here. As you can see, I’m so close, yet so far!
Thank you for any advice!
