P-Trap elbow connected directly to waste drain

[greg_xyz_nj]

I am replacing the double bin kitchen sink with a single bin and will have to re-plumb the drain.
The prior owner connected the down elbow of the P-Trap directly to the waste line.
Should I cut this elbow off and put in a stub out adapter or is it ok the way it is and i should just find a new P-trap to use?
(I am in New Jersey)
Thanks

To give yourself the most flexible options, cut right at the hub (assuming you have 1" of pipe exposed available to couple to:
Use a "no hub" coupling adapter, Tubular 1-1/2" x pipe size 1-1/2"

It's likely that you will need to cut off the existing p-trap and start over. I normally use tubular fittings for a sink drain. Some use the glued up fittings.
I like being able to take things apart later, so I go with tubular and slip joint nuts. White PVC is fine for that. The stuff seems to last decades.

Thanks.
I have 1 - 3/4 inches from the back of the cabinet to the edge of the elbow

So, i'll cut the elbow off and put on a pvc threaded sink drain adapter with a slip joint nut and washer. i can glue that onto the stub out pipe and then build the rest of the drain with tubular fittings and slip joint nuts. I like being able to easily take things apart myself. I think that sounds like the right thing to do.

o, i'll cut the elbow off and put on a pvc threaded sink drain adapter with a slip joint nut and washer.

The thing you want is called a pvc hub trap adapter.
