Have a slow bathroom drain that has inspired me to remove the used P-trap, snake the drain line, than re install a new P-Trap.
As a DIYer, I get myself into unexpected situations that can sometimes cause delay.
1) I want to make sure I buy the right parts.
2) The 2" galvanized steel pipe steps down to a 1 1/4" Ptrap. Pretty sure, does that look right.
I want to replace this coupling step adaptor, but want to confirm, is this really a 2" to 1 1/4" adaptor, as those are a bit tricky to find.
The OD of the galvanized drain line measured 2" on the calipers so seems like it, right?
I have hand snaked other galvanized lines, if I feel sticky Tees or elbows to get through I usually try not to push it too hard as I am concerned that 55 year old steel will break. I only use a cork screw head no cutters. My snake is 25'
The pTrap is not expensive to replace, the adaptor is not expensive, I don't want to put the old ones back on, would rather put $15-20 into new PTrap and adaptor. I just never have dealt with combining steel to PVC but an adaptor I guess should do the trick, unless you have any thoughts to add?
Looking over this configuration, I just wanted to make sure this adaptor is 2" - 1 1/4" as that is not a stock adaptor at the big box stores.
Also, any advice or tips is helpful before I pump myself up to either created a 2 day project my wife shuns me over, or a 30 mins slam dunk.
