Nate This crossed my mind. In fact, I initially set out trying to install a 1 1/4" trap kit, but the stuff is so flimsy, so many joints with plastic insert seals. And I could not get a good coupling with the 1 1/2" ABS drain inlet in the wall. So I switched to 1 1/2" abs for as far as I...

David What are these elusive "other things" i can try? :cool: thanks

David I agree with your statement that the noise is due to turbulent flow of water. But I don't understand your idea of pushing the p-trap lower. It seems contrary to the previous recommendations of having it as close to under the sink as possible - e.g. reduce the tail pipe length. The sink...

Redwood are you saying it is better to have the shortest drop possible to the P, and then put any long drops after the P and to the drain? I could probably plumb it that way and get the P way up there, but would end up with an ABS drop down to the drain of maybe 15" (again, need to confirm...

Herk It's not a joke. The walls weren't exactly tore off...that area was a closet and a shower stall that was removed - walls were open. Since we didn't have the exact vanity and sink dimensions known when the plumbing work was done, the drain was placed in a fairly standard proximity to the...

Update: Movie! Loud - gurgling - bathroom sink drain Hey there, First time post. Great forum you have here. I am in the process of a bathroom remodel. Vanity/sink are done. We moved the location and therefore tied into the combo vent and drain which serves the shower. For what its worth...
