Hi all,
Novice plumber here. I moved into a new home recently, and noticed a slight odor coming from the bathroom sink, so I looked underneath and see 3 j traps fitted together (pic attached). Not sure if this is the cause, but would like to correct anyway. It looks to me like the drain stub out is too high for the sink. Would replacing with a reversing p trap correct this? Would something else work better?
If a reversing p trap would work, I was thinking I could saw through the short coupling between the downward facing 90 degree elbow and drain stub out (pic attached), use a plastic pipe fitting reamer to remove the coupling from the stub out, then replace with new (longer) coupling, adapter and finally p trap...any thoughts? Is there an easier way to do that?
