Hello,

I need to pop in a short segment of PVC to connect my drain flange to my P-trap. I need to pull the P-trap assembly away to pop it in. Can I carefully open the Zip mechanism of this hanger (Oatey?) without destroying it? I could probably pop the joist mount screws as a backup but I'm wondering if I could do this instead. Here is a picture.

Thanks.

Have you tried prying the short tab up with a fairly big flat-blade screwdriver? Don't pry on the tail with the parallel lines, but the tab just above the parallel lines.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
