Bathroom vanity wasteline

[joe71nj]

Hi. I'm trying to plumb a wasteline in a bathroom vanity that's 18" deep. The tailpiece is in direct line with the 1 1/2" wasteline... so there's not much room to fit the trap because it's so close. What's the best way to deal with this?

No way to answer you without knowing HOW close the drain is to the wall and how the pipe comes out of the wall.

Sometimes I 45 from the wall and swivel back to pick up the tailpiece.

There's a pvc 1 1/2" elbow that sticks out of the wall and there's about 6 1/2" from the inside of that to the center of the tailpiece. Is there any other options besides using 45s and offsetting the trap?

I was hoping to be able to get straight in but i know i may have to use your suggestion. Thank you for the replies, by the way. I appreciate all suggestions.

Will it fit if you shorten the p-trap where it goes into the wall? I normally have to cut them shorter.

It looks like it'll be right at the bend in the p-trap, unless they make a 'close' trap for the bottom of the tailpiece? I dont know if they make something like that..

I was able to use all metal which has a shorter trap and it worked perfectly. I also found that they make flexible parts and also an offset extension set with 2-22 degree couplings in pvc for the tailpiece which both could have been used to kick it out from the wall as needed.
