: : Thanks for the quick reply. The chrome tube is actually sweated into the brass fitting. The brass fitting is screwed into the galv 90. So the brass fitting is a MPT by female sweat reduced to 1 1/4. Pretty weird I know. Can chrome be sweated? Can I get the same pipe in brass and sweat that? Thanks : Reply: : I would try to cut the piece out of the galvanized fitting, it shouldn't be too deep in the wall, then install a utility trap or galvanized nipple stubbing out just past the wall and use a regular chrome plated tubular drain trap with an escutcheon to cover the connection onto the galv nipple. : e-plumber It is possible to sweat chrome. You have to file the chrome off the brass and tin it first. LonnythePlumber
