Hey guys, I've run into a bit of an issue after installing a new bathroom sink--I can't get the P-Trap installed because I can't get the piping lined up. There's not enough room between the marvel connector (I think that's the name of it anyway--the piece with the male end that is cemented to the stub) and the tail pipe.
I cut the trap arm and jam it into that marvel connector as far as it will go before it hits the bend, but the other end of the J is still a little over an inch too far in front of the tailpipe. The tail pipe is pretty much dead direct in front of the wall stub, so I can't swing the assembly left or right to offset it.
The pics here should show what I'm talking about:
What should I do here to fix it?
I COULD cut the wall stub back further to create that inch but I don't have a lot of room to work with there before I hit the wall. Feel like there has to be an easier way. Maybe a couple of 45's pieced together somehow?
Appreciate your input folks. Please type slowly so I can understand
