How to replace the laundry waste connection?

[Phil_Y]

set up unconnectedset up almost connectedHi there

I am completing an install of a laundry tub. I ma faced with a connection problem and I need some guidance on the correct connectors to finish the job.

There is a approx 5-7cm misalignment to get the P trap to meet with the waste line from the wall. How should I approach the solution?

The trap in situ is from the old tub I have replaced.

Hello @Phil_Y 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your waste trap connection.

Because of the extended waste fitting of your laundry tub, I suggest changing your P trap with a Caroma 50mm White Short P Trap Inlet. I believe this trap will be able to compensate for the extended drop of the plug and waste. Please make sure to change the entire set. I don't recommend mixing and matching parts as the Caroma trap is designed to work exclusively together.

Please note that it might still be necessary to do adjustments under the laundry tub. I suggest doing a test fit to make sure everything lines up before you fix everything in place.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Thanks Eric

Yes I shared it with a plumber last night and he conferred with your advice. I'm off to my local store.
