Just do exactly as they've done with the metal but use the plastic trap, plastic nuts and those plastic beveled washers. You can leave the pipe that comes down, but you will probably need to replace the tail piece that goes back towards the wall.

No need to use a coupler in most cases. DM __________________ [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Click To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
