    How do you get the pipe out of the wall under the bathroom sink?
    I have a 1953 house and wanted to replace the gasket to the sink and the p trap, but unable to find the correct size so I went to Plumbing supply place. He did not have much, but insisted I had to replace everything including the wall pipe. He assembled ebverything & same guy who told me to burn the house down over and over again.

    Weird guy. He said there is a bolt in the pipe in the wall, but I don't see one. Does it twist out? What kind of wrench do I use? Does it turn left to right to loosen. Can I damage other pipes trying to get it out. I prefer to leave it in as it is OK, but the p trap has a hole in it and needs replacement.

    Is the old pipe big enough to put a smaller new one through it?

    If not try connecting the mismatched sizes together with a flexable rubber hose and some jubalee clips.

    Bolditalicunderlineleftcenterrightunordered listordered listlinkimageyoutubequotecodehtmlphpHi thorpy. I appreciate you answering. The pipe is I believe 1 1/2 in to the wall.

    How much Rubber hose do I need. Would I attach the rubber hose to the wall pipe with the clamp and how far over the wall pipe do I extend it?

    Then, do I take that rubber hose and put it on the other pipe and use the clamp there too?

    Also, how would I put a smaller pipe in. Would you put a 1 1/4 pipe through the wall pipe? Would it have to be the same size? Both sound like very good ideas.

    The clamp which screws down from the wall pipe unfortunately broke in two, so this sounds promising if u couuld just elaborate a bit. Thank you so much.

    Buy new fittings to take 1 1/4 inch pipe from plug hole right through to outside. Ask at b&q and they will sort you out. Most sinks are meant to be 11/4 inch so double chech you measure ments especily thr thread on the base of the sink
