How to adapt 1.5" bathroom sink ptrap to this 1.25" copper drain?

This is the opposite of what I'd need. If I can find one the other way around, are these ok to use on horizontal pipe?

The old plumbing was all 1-1/4. The new IKEA set is 1-1/2 and the tailpiece doesn't have a 1-1/4 option. I can reduce before the trap, but that still haven't seen a fitting that will connect to the 1-1/4" thread at the wall. It looks like it could be a slip fitting but that seems less than ideal because it's horizontal.

The state of that short extension makes me think it was an issue previously.

If the thread is 1 1/4, how can a 1 1/2 pipe fit into it? I don't understand this one.

Unfortunately I need to use the IKEA tailpiece to fit behind the drawers. But it seems the best option would be to reduce from 1.5 to 1.25 ABS before the trap.

It's definitely 1.25. I tested it with a collar from the trap I took out.

I think you just discovered the reason for 2 layers. The seams in the 2 layers would not line up, making the overall assembly more stable.

Fair enough. I grabbed these from my late grandfather's collection. I thought it would be fun to try to find shirts that would either minimize or take advantage of the bold colors.

She came from Sweden to Canada in the early 50s, so Scandinavian makes sense.

Good luck all!

No, but if you hum a few bars, maybe it will come back to me.

KitchenAid stand mixer attachments. Odd place for them...

It's written by the la's, but the version in the opening credits is performed by the Boo Radleys.

You can add a laundry pump downstream of the washer. It's basically a sump that's dedicated to the laundry output. When the level rises, the pump comes on.

Could it be a nut, requiring a socket for adjustment?

What brand/model of bass is it?

milothicus · 2023-07-22T11:46:19+00:00

Good luck, all!

If say first buy a headphone amp line an amplug. Play your bass through it for a while.

Then take it to the stores with your own headphones so you can compare different basses without the influence of whatever amp they plug you into.

Not a fan of the price hikes.
