IKEA, Help connecting with 1-1/4" copper stub out

[docpepper13]

Here is what I have:
1. 1-1/4" nominal copper stub out (and before anyone asks, yes, it measures 1-3/8" OD);
2. Ikea pipes that are slightly larger than and do not fit with 1-1/2" US-standard tubular plastic; and
3. approx. 2-3/4" between the wall and the center line of the trap arm that will run perpendicular to the stub out.

Here is what I have to do:
1. create a 90 degree bend from the stub out to where the trap arm will connect within the limited space; and
2. match whatever fitting/coupling that is to the non-US standard 1-1/2" Ikea pipe.

There does not seem to be a fernco-type 90 degree coupling for 1-1/4" copper to 1-1/2" tubular by any manufacturer. Are there any decent options other than sweating a copper 90 on the stub out and using the gray 1-1/2" Fernco to connect the IKEA trap arm?

1 1/4 X 1 1/2 copper to ABS rubber coupling. Street abs 90 then a 1 1/2 bow adapter. You will have to add some tephlon to the ikea pipe

Problems with Ikea products are a fairly regular topic here. As you are finding out, European plumbing standards and methods are often quite different than the US. Not only are sizes in metric, codes do not match.

Unfortunately, plumber69, I did try to make that bend using your advice, but there's not enough room to do it without cutting into the back of the drawer. It looks like I'll be sweating a 90 on the stub out. Thank you for the advice though.

Gary, I am getting well acquainted with IKEA now. The pipes and fittings are decent quality (similar to proflo tubular I would say). But, you're right, I was told the pipes were 1-1/2" when I bought it, but they're more like 1-19/32", so they look almost identical but don't fit the US standard sizing.

An Ikea install with 1.5" ABS from wall. The trap is a 1.25"
This is one I did years ago.

And the new ones are for 1.5"

I ended up just sweating a copper 90 on. Thank you for your suggestions/advice.
