NIBCO - K00595H U4895 11/2 HXH P TRAP W/UNION JOINT PVC, White (U4895112), 1.5 Inch

A recent remodel required the shifting of a sink 6-8” laterally. The existing stub out from the wall was terminated in a 1-1/2” 90° male threaded elbow union followed by the P-trap. Labeled “MADE IN U.S.A.” The elbow was solvent welded to the stub out and could not be altered. Thus, only the P-trap needed to be replaced. The lateral offset would be accomplished by adding a street elbow to a new P-trap, a length of pipe and then a long sweep elbow to the sink tailpiece. The threaded portion of the existing elbow union at the stub out measured 2.340" OD with 11.5 TPI. The NIBCO K00595H U4895 PVC P-Trap with union HXH (Hub x Hub solvent weld) measures 2.337” OD with 11.5 TPI for a perfect fit. However, the threads on the Canadian manufactured Canplas 193211N P-trap are just over 1/16" less in diameter (2.264" OD) with 10 TPI making it impossible to use on my existing installation. The P-trap plastic nut was too small in diameter to fit the existing elbow union but if it had managed to fit, the plastic nut would not have matched the threads (10 TPI vs the necessary 11.5 TPI). I assume this is due to a spec difference between US and Canada. Note: if one is not trying to fit to existing plumbing and starting from a clean plate, both of these products will work perfectly. Also note that the threaded connection forces two slanted “cones” to lock together. One on the P-trap and one on the 90° threaded elbow union. There is no gasket seal nor is any sealant used on the treads. One other minor idiosyncrasy: the original P-trap measured 3.5” from the center of its inlet to the center of its outlet (center of one hole to the center of the other). The NIBCO measures 3.25” and therefore shorter. This might become an issue if the tailpiece does not align. Ironically, the Canplas that didn’t fit, measures 3.5”.

This is a full 2" P-Trap... the best for preventing a clog under a kitchen sink. It is schedule 40 PVC, not the flimsey stuff. If you bump it with something heavy, it will not break or move. HIGH QUALITY... worth every penny. Highly recommended (use fittings so it can be easily disassembled all the way back to the 2" wall stub out, and add a cleanout just in case.).

Couldn’t find this at the local hardware stores but it’s what the house had under all the sinks. I was grateful this was available here and they were able to ship it quickly!!

I had to replumb under my sink after installing a new disposal as the plumbing was off by 1/2 inch. I spent an entire day trying to find this part locally. The part was a NIBCO 4895-B. I ordered this in hopes it would fit. This just comes with an added piece that I threw away. It fits and works perfectly. Thank you Amazon for coming to my rescue once again!!

These don't seem to be carried at the box stores anymore. House was built in 2000. So ordered this trap and had trouble with it leaking no matter how careful i was to align with the other pvc. If you look at the mating edges seem to be flat spot. My assumption is that source of problem although i notice that on other PVC fitting. So i took some Teflon tape (not white style) which was thicker and line the top of the joint and then reassembled. So far so good, no leaks, little frustrating with first install for a new pvc piece. I have seen videos about this leaking and how critical to make it the first joint to secure, but that didn't help me.

I use these on homes with people who clog their sinks all the time, makes my job a little easier when I need to disassemble the trap

quick shipping, good price
