Hi,
I've tried 2 plumbing supply stores and they all tell me that plumbing companies will intentionally make a non-standard thread so I will always be forced to use their brand. Problem is that this company went out of business. Is there any truth to this?
Here is the old trap (house was built in 1979 in Bakersfield, CA) compared to another trap I purchased at Home Depot. They are close but will not thread onto each other. Any idea what's going on?
Thank you in advance.
