What happens here

After cutting the ABS pipe, use a utility knife to carefully clean off any burrs or rough edges from both the inside and outside of the newly cut pipe. This ensures a smooth surface for a watertight seal. Next, apply a generous amount of Oatey Medium Black ABS Cement to both the clean end of the existing ABS pipe and the new black ABS slip-joint trap adapter. Quickly insert the new trap adapter into the existing pipe with a quarter turn to distribute the cement evenly and create a strong bond.

Goal: Prepare pipe and install a new, flush-fitting trap adapter

Tools and materials

  • ABS Drain Pipe — The existing pipe receiving the new adapter
  • ABS Slip-Joint Trap Adapter — The new fitting that connects the P-trap to the wall drain
  • Oatey Medium Black ABS Cement Oatey — Adhering the new ABS trap adapter to the existing ABS pipe
  • Utility Knife — Cleaning burrs from the cut pipe

What they say

Hide

This makes light work of cutting PVC and tight spaces. Nice flush cut right against the fitting. Get all those burrs cleaned off inside and out. Some glue, quarter turn. Get this all cleaned up. There's no sense in throwing it away. It's just a little dirty.
