To solve the size mismatch, select a specialty coupling like the Proflex 3001-150 no-hub adapter.

How do I connect this old school copper drain line to this new school ABS drain line? You can see the ABS is actually just a little bit bigger than the copper. And so that's why they make this awesome no hub adapter. You can see right here that this side, this rubber, there's a lot more meat on it, and it actually works really well with this skinnier pipe. So you're just able to stick that right on there, and that fits right in there, and then the other side doesn't have as much meat on it,
