sorry - I should have been clearer about that. I took the drain assembly extension off to try and show the offset. The issue is getting the drain extension into the p trap. The p trap is about an inch short from being able to hook up to the drain extension - even with swiveling and adjusting.

Thanks, Terry. I thought I had enough play to swivel the p-trap when I tried to install it this morning. If I back out the trap arm a lot, and pull things , I can sort of force it into place, but it pulls the drain's seal and there's a leak. It's close, but it seems like the trap is a bit...

I'm hoping to wrap up my bathroom remodel this weekend and one of the last items on the list is installing the lav sink. Here's the configuration as it stands: The sink is a 16" wide Ikea Lillangen sink. The faucet I'd like to use is a Hansgrohe Tallis E -- this came with a pop-up drain. The...

Thanks, Jim. I was able to get the shutoffs on and leak free for up to 24 hours. Don't suppose you recognize that Flange? Since I made that first post, I went to remove a window casing and ended up having to take down a good 1/3 of a plaster wall (asbestos, lead, and horsehair all in one...

Hi, I'm remodeling a bathroom and began to do demo this morning. So far, it seems to be a comedy of errors or surprises. 1) after three trips to the store, I finally obtained the proper sized shutoffs for my toilet and sink supplies (3/8-3/8, 1/4 turn, threaded to compression). Now the two...
