Okay, I replaced an old 1970s vanity on Sunday with a "cultured marble" standard issue vanity top from big orange. That went well enough but the sink drain is not lining up with the p trap. As the old vanity was much lower (about 29 inches?) I didnt want to bend down so low so the new vanity sits at 34 inches tall like most newer vanities. Only thing a simple extension wont work cause the drain pipe is off by only a short space. I tried to get an extension and even one of those accordian type things but with all the pulling and manipulation going on, I succeeded in over tighting the drain and now the drain is leaking now, so I am off to big orange for the 6th time in 2 days to get a new drain, a steel one that hopefully even I cannot screw up...
Anywho, the setup goes like this... 2 inch PVC horizontal waste pipe from the wall, gots to a 1.5 inch steel p trap which was gasketed to 1.25 inch drain on the old sink. New sink has a PVC 1.25 inch drain as well so I would like to see what are my options without having to rip out everything south of the p trap. Cause given my skills that is not an option.
Pics are of the p trap from 2 angles and a pic of the top of the drain that wasnt leaking at the start but it is leaking now. I can get a longer drainpiece easily but it still wont line up. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
