I'm replacing the old bathroom lavatory with a pedestal sink. I'm trying to reuse the old horizontal piece of the P-trap that extends from the wall, because it is soldered (copper waste lines) - and I didn't want the hassle. My problem is that the drain of the new sink does not line up with the old one - I'm further out from the wall by about 1 inch - nothing is ever easy! Is there any way to resolve this other than to replace the horizontal arm of the trap?
If replacing the arm is required, what would you recommend as the best method? I am fairly experienced at soldering copper supply lines, but is there a better way? The stub out from the waste line is flush with the drywall.
I've attached a couple pictures....
