    Outgoing Drain Behind Vanity Cabinet Not Aligned with Sink Drain Tube in New Sinktop
    I'm installing a new vanity cabinet and new marble vanity top, both slightly larger than the originals. The problem we've encountered is that the drainage pipe that will exit sink water from the sink to the house -- the PVC pipe in the house/wall -- is not aligned with the new location of the sink drain that was displaced because of the increased width of the new cabinet. Does anyone have any tips on how we can connect the house tube with the sink pipe even though the two are offset? We've tried what seems to be dozens of various PVC pipes and configurations and we're at our wits end now. :( We've done everything else ourselves and surely don't want to let our fingers do the walking for this last task. For what it's worth, the PVC in the wall appears to be 1 1/2" and the sink drainage tube is 1 1/4". THANKS to anyone who can give us any tips. :D

    This is not a major problem. Go to a Lowe's store or what ever type home store you have and get the reducers and piping to do the off set. Most of these stores will answer any questions you have.
