Total amateur question here, but I'm trying to figure out how best to stub out the drain pipe that will eventually connect to the p-trap so i can finish tiling, but I don't yet know what sort of p-trap i'll be installing. Might be a decorative exposed one or just a standard PVC one, depending on what we decide to do with the sink/vanity.
Is there a standard way professionals deal with this? While removing the old (1956) pipe, the only thing that would break free when i turned it were the threads connecting the pipe to the main drain pipe, so I need something that can be screwed into that, and that is about 4 inches inside the wall. I would think there's a simple solution involving some sort of ABS adapter (saw many kinds at the big box) to screw into the drain pipe that lets you add anything you want from the escutcheon out at a later date.
I only have three or four good threads to screw into due to old corrosion, so tips on how to ensure a leak-free junction there would be appreciated as well.
Good for a laugh, this is an ongoing bathroom remodel that I first came here for help with back in April. I'm trying to beat my old record (6 months) on remodeling the master bath. ha!
