What Happens When My P Trap Won't Go On?

What happens here

Begin by loosely assembling the components of the 1.5-inch P-trap kit: attach the P-trap bend to the P-trap nut and waste arm. Hold the assembled P-trap and waste arm up to the wall drain outlet and the sink tailpiece (with the reducer washer installed). Mark the waste arm for the correct length needed to reach the wall drain outlet. Cut the waste arm to the marked length using a suitable cutting tool (not shown, but implied). Ensure all necessary washers (including the beveled washer inside the P-trap nut) are correctly oriented for a watertight seal. Connect the waste arm to the wall drain outlet first, tightening the nut. Then, connect the P-trap assembly to the sink tailpiece, ensuring the reducer washer is properly seated and tightening the slip nut by hand. Make sure all connections are snug but do not overtighten, as this can crack plastic fittings.

Goal: Assemble the 1.5-inch P-trap, cut the waste arm to length, and connect the entire assembly to the sink tailpiece and the wall drain outlet.

get this up and on where it needs to go we'll just have that up in place all right so now we've got the p-trap assembly you're going to want to cut this waist arm to length that way it fits up in here and i like to just get this set up because we're going to need a measurement from here to here to actually put an extension tube on this because we've got a gap all right get that cut pop this in place make sure you have all your washers in here want that bevel actually going into this little area right here makes it nice and secure once you get that all in place we're able to get this up in here all right so there we go where the inch and a quarter wouldn't go on we were able to switch it to inch and a half and make that it's not that hard if you bought something this small well you can always go to inch and a half actually a lot of people prefer inch and a half over inch and a quarter anyway if you get into small vanities such as this sometimes you have to use something a little smaller but in this case we're able to transition easy and it worked out very well
