Moving drain 4'

19 years ago

I am installing a new vanity in my bathroom. The new vanity and sink are bigger than the last sink. In order to position the vanity correctly the drain is now 4" away from where it was before. Is there a way to accomodate this with pipe instead of opening up the wall and repositioning the drain int he wall? Thanks.

You could cut the stub out of the wall and put a 45 elbow towards the new location.

Sorry everyone. That should have been 4" (inches) not 4' (feet)! You are correct, big difference. I am looking to move the drain 4". Need a flexible p trap or something like that.

If it can exit the wall at the same point but lining up is a problem just use a 45-degree elbow to make the line up work. Avoid flex traps and pipes unless you like stench drain.
