I have a garbage disposal which exit pipe (plastic) is slightly smaller than the trap (plastic). I have tried any kind of plastic fitting, nothing works. What should I do?

As John said, the picture is not accessible, however, my guess is that you are trying to connect the 1.5" TUBULAR plastic garbage disposal elbow to 1.5" PVC... If this is the case, then you need to purchase what is called an 1.5" TRAP ADAPTER (also referred to as an 1.5" desanco fitting). They are readily available at all home improvement stores.

To confirm everything, please repost the picture and we'll see what we think, OK?

Besides Mark's assumption, I also think you may be trying to fit 1 1/2" garbage disposer drain pipe into 1 1/4" tubular drain pipe. Post photo so we know exactly what set up you have

Back to you
