Hello,

I have an issue with the trap of my washbasin. The pipe that needs to be connected into the wall is positioned too high. Unfortunately, the trap cannot be installed any lower because it would then block the drawer, and it cannot be lowered further anyway. Could you advise me on which angled fittings I need to compensate for the height difference? If you need any additional information, please let me know.

Maybe a space-saving trap or a washbasin cabinet trap will help you.

Just search for "flexible brass tailpipe for cup siphon" on Google.

Best regards,

Probably not, since these traps are very difficult to maintain and can only be opened with great effort, for example, if something falls inside. Besides, I already have a trap.

Using something flexible is certainly an obvious idea. Actually, I wanted to avoid those flexible parts because the grooves tend to get clogged with nasty dirt more quickly and require more frequent cleaning. Also, at 10 euros, I find them too expensive.

I was thinking more along the lines of this:

Drain pipes and trap visible under the sink against a yellow tiled wall.

How can I determine which angled fittings I need?

How long have you been dealing with your problem? Calculated by hourly wage, it’s certainly more expensive than €10.00 ;-)

Hello

With two 45° or 0.67° sanitary tee bends, that should work.
The one in the second photo is very maintenance-friendly indeed.
