Hey all,
I have a 2" DWV in my kitchen and wanted to get this setup for my new sink, and cabinets that are coming in.

I know the usually fittings for a kitchen sink drain is 1-1/2". So to get this to connect to the 2" copper DWV, do I:

1. Get a 2 in. x 1-1/2 in. Copper DWV CxX coupling and put on a trap adapter?

or

2. get a 2" reducer to 1-1/2" and put a trap adapter at the end of this?

Thank you!

Normally a kitchen trap arm is 1.5"
If you have a 2.0" trap arm, it will need to be reduced to 1.5" and a trap adapter.

This is 1.5" copper DWV, from and old 60's home. They also make couplings that transition between copper and plastic.

If I read your question correctly, both of those fittings are the same, but you can do it almost anyway you want to as long as you wind up with a 1 1/2" connection to the sink.

Hey guys,
Ok, so I was successful in getting a copper 2"x1-1/2 reducer. Now when I put the 1-1/2 trap adapter to the reducer size, its the same size and it won't fit. Did I buy the wrong piece?
