I had a pedestal sink and have removed it to install a traditional vanity/cabinet. I need to extend the trap about 2 inches so that it will line up with the new sink hole. I was planning on dismantling the connection re-plumbing to extend the trap out further. I cannot figure out how this connection is made to dismantle it. I have the escutcheon pulled back as far as it can go and I do not see any type of Descanco or fitting under it that I can unscrew. You can see in one of the photos where the PVC steps down as it enters the wal, which appears to be a glued joint. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Mark

The trap elbow is screwed on, but I cannot be sure what it is screwed on to It looks like an ABS male adapter, but it also has a shine to it as if it is some kind of metal connection.

I'm betting on a galvanized nipple coming out of the wall with the chrome trap ell threaded on to it. It might come off easily but usually.....not.
