Have trap adapter at wall. Need a 45 elbow to align P-Trap with disposal. Here are the options - which is best:
1. Trap Adapter - ABS Female NPT to Glue - ABS Straight Glue - ABS 45 Elbow Glue - Charlotte P-Trap w/ glued trap arm and slip compression at trap.
2. Trap Adapter - ABS Female NPT to Glue - ABS Straight Glue - ABS 45 Elbow Glue - ABS Straight Glue - ABS Trap Adapter - Poly plastic P-Trap.
Number 2 is basically extending the trap adapter so that a ploy plastic P-Trap can be used. It seems that both will work. Which do you prefer? That Charlotte P-Trap is more sturdy, but less common and has the disadvantage of a glued trap arm. The PP P-trap is less sturdy but can be easily replaced and is much more commonly found.
