I'm installing a bar sink in my lower level. I have the drain pipe, that I connected to the main drain & properly vented, sticking out of the wall about a foot. This drain pipe is located about 22 1/2 inches above the floor.

Any tips or don'ts that I need to know connecting the sink to this pipe?

Thanks

22 1/2" off the floor is a little high for the stubout. How high will the bar sink set? You will attach a 1 1/2" trap with a 1 1/2 X 1 1/4" Nylon compression gasket to pick up the bar sinks tailpiece. Good luck. Tom

Thanks for responding Tom. The bottom of the sink will be 28 inches above the floor. This is before I've installed the strainer. Unfortuately, I couldn't have the drain stub come into the room any lower.

Double check your measurements to see if the trap will come too high up to connect to the tailpiece. You might have to either raise the bar sink of lower the stubout. Good luck and keep me informed , tom

The nylon compression fit connector for the sink portion of the drain is a must. But I also appreciated later the fact that on the other end of the P-trap where the trap mets the ABS drain, was also a screw together connection. That way, when I had a problem I could lossen the nylon nut, and unscrew the ABS. then the p-trap would twist away from the drain, and then I could pull straight down to remove the trap from the sink stub.

It goes back together just as easy.

That was handy..
