Hello,

I need to remove my bathroom sink p trap, which is made of plastic. One of the connections will not budge and was stripped/worn down (by previous homeowner). I have tried using adjustable pliers to loosen it but can't move it at all.

Can you please tell me what the easiest way is to deal with this problem? Photos are below.

Thanks,
Kevin

Just past the elbow that is closest to the wall I would cut the pipe off. Cover the hole in the wall with an escutcheon, and glue a trap adapter on, and use a poly P-trap instead of that bulky trap that they installed. You won't ever be running a snake through the trap itself, so it doesn't need to be schedule 40 pvc.

massachusetts does not allow a slip joint connection on the outlet side of the trap...

MA law does NOT apply to a "non US" person.

you need LARGE curved jaw adjustable pliers



+ muscle

Someone may have gotten cement on the locknut when they installed it.

it is plastic

if it breaks, THEN, cut and replace

4 to 1 it simply requires some muscle and a good tool
