: Is it okay to sweat a male threaded adapter on the house drain and then screw a pvc female (with pipe tape) to transition from copper to PVC? Yes, although we generally prefer to go copper FA to plastic MA. : What is a trap adapter? Is it a different size slip ring (washer) that you use with a metal tail pipe. I assume that the OD of the metal pipe is smaller than the OD of a PVC pipe. Correct? It is a slip ring washer setup. The OD of the 1.5 metal is smaller than the ID of the PVC pipe.
