We have redone a small bath and found we needed to use a small size sink that is only 9" deep from the wall. This has created an issue where I don't have the room to attaché a P trap to the drain located directly in line over the wall pipe. I don't have enough room to put a trap on and turn it to the wall. Is there a reduced Radius 1 1/4" trap for tight applications? Is there any other option but to cut and move the drain off center of the sink to give enough room to fit a trap and connections?

You could turn the trap sideways and use a 45* elbow on the drain pipe going into the wall to line everything up.

If the drain is directely behind the sink drain, you can use a "bag trap". THeoretically, they are illegal, but they are often sold with vessel sinks. It is basically a "simple" tube with a pipe going out the back to the drain line.

Search for "bottle trap". Our sponsor has them in many finishes. Also, PVC versions are available.

They are "illegal" almost everywhere, but what does that have to do with someone using one.
