Why 1-1/2"?
Kitchen sink drains are usually 1-1/2", larger than bathroom basins (1-1/4"), to handle food waste and higher flow.
When you'll need one
- Installing a deeper or shallower sink
- Adding a garbage disposal or changing the trap position
- Replacing a cracked or corroded tail piece
Installation steps
- Attach the tail piece to the sink basket strainer with the slip nut and washer.
- Measure where it meets the trap and cut to length with a hacksaw if needed.
- Deburr the cut end.
- Insert into the trap and hand-tighten the slip nut.
- Run water and check every joint for leaks.
Tips
- An 8" length gives flexibility. You can trim it down, but you can't stretch a short one.
- Keep the trap below the sink outlet and sloping toward the wall.
- Use new washers whenever you reassemble a drain.
