I upgraded my bathroom vanity. The trap arm comes out of the sani tee about 6 inches lower than what is needed for my vanity.
My question in can you raise the trap arm with 45s or 90s? Our do I have top CIT the sani tee out and raise it?
I posted a pic with a rough drawing of what I am saying. Thank you

You have to cut out the santee and raise it. The trap arm can come out with a 2% rise or 1/4" per foot.
If you raise it with any fittings at all it no longer works.

Thank you. I woke up this morning and cut out the sani tee. I'd rather not take the chance.
My vanity is also split with drain that are 35 in apart. Can I tee my drains to one p trap? Thanks again

Keep the arm at the current height and use a trap like this. Use 1-1/2" pipe to raise the trap adapter to the height needed. The link is for a 1-1/4" adapter.

Thank you. I would have done that, but the p trap would interfere with the bottom of the vanity. I need the trap arm from the vent to be higher. That was a solution for some though.

I don't think anyone saw this. You should've run two separate drains and added a vent.
