I installed my own sinks, everything is ready to go except the drain pipes, it looks like this under neath, I need to connect those together. Keep in mind I'm a plumbing noob with your answers so telling me to use an H valve with a d clamp in a rotary pattern isn't going to help me if you catch my drift.
I need to connect these two together!!

The piece you need is called a "reducer."

a reducer?
Seriously, you can envision the piece that goes there...measure the 2 pipe openings, head to the hardware store, purchase part and PVC glue. |

If you know the size of the pipes home depot has the shit to do it. They make reducing connections just for that.

Install an adapter on either end to bring them closer together, then duct tape the different.

You simply need a flange for 1 1/4" pipe which is the drain on the sink and 1 1/2" pipe which is what it connects to at the trap. I have thousands, so does Home Depot.
1 1/4" & 1 1/2" flange. Ignore everything posted in this thread except what I said this is common and simple. Go to HD and explain your situation, the fix is like .25 |

There's a "slip joint/coupler" that will fix that, go to home depot and get one.
The pipe on top fits through the coupler and it screws down on the threads on the lower piece. Search google images for "sink plumbing parts" to see picts. |

The threads just off the p-trap are going to mess you up! Get a new lower portion of the p-trap that does not have that male adapter on it. Then use a bushing(reducer) and glue onto your upper pipe.

All kidding aside, you need a reducer, as was mentioned lots of times before now. Go to your local hardware store, tell them what you are trying to do, and they will give you the appropriate reducer (I would say the 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 is probably accurate, but if the nimrod who build my house built yours, you are better off measuring to be sure!). A reducer is a piece that has a larger opening on one end than the other, thus reducing the size of the pipe (not to be insulting, I'm just making sure you understand the concept ).
Post up and let us know when you get it resolved, and good job doing it yourself! Feels good, huh? |

They sell different sizes tail pieces. Or get another size trap. Yeah, reducer might be easier but my experience with plumbing is, it's never as easy as it looks and you never get everything you need in one trip.

Be careful that you don't pick up tubular sized fittings for this. Make sure you tell them that you have ABS, which is an IPS (iron pipe size) pipe. If you just tell the guy at HD or the hardware store you need 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 fittings for under your sink, they may just direct you to the tubular stuff.
