- This video demonstrates how to install a flexible p trap and is meant for informational purposes only.
Be sure to check your local code and consult with a professional.
In this video the flexible tubing was used as a temporary solution until a professional was able to install a permanent solution that met all local code.

The corrugated trap is not code compliant.
Most plumbers will tell you the code is wrong lol I did this exact thing and for 3 years nothing happened. This works just fine its not pressurized water. Don't call a plumber to do this for you and let them charge you $600 for a $10 part
Good to hear...I'm about to do this same thing cuz my "to code" professional plumber sink repair I had done a year ago is now failing miserably. What a mess.
I applaud you taking time to help people, however as a plumber this is the worst type of trap to install. Other then violating code in a number of towns it will clog up over time!
the pipe on the wall is large, I wonder how am I going to connect the flexible type that is small pipe?
Great video thanks for sharing
Imagine getting 25 to life in prison for installing one of these.
wow, you save me a lot of time, money, and trouble rate video for the new be on replacing sinks
these traps are illegal and collect build up.
Hi what if the p trap pipe does not fit my wall pipe ? Thanks
You'll have to get a reducer adapter to bridge the difference in diameter
@@tylerbyrd1644 ok thanks
yeah don't do this unless it's temporary.
I get that they are not recommended and every plumber in the world hates them, but can anyone tell me the code reference that states that this is a code violation?
IRC code P3002.3.1
He clearly said it’s Temporary. Geez! 🤦🏼♂️
Those flexable things are not code here.
They aren't code anywhere in the US.
@matts1166 do you have that code reference, where it states they are illegal or not code compliant?
IPC 1002.2 Where it talks about self scouring. I don't believe this passes that test in my opinion.
Hi. Can you give an update? How has it been working after 5 months since you made the video?
About 8 years ago I replaced a sink in the bathroom and it didn't line up with the wall drain. I used flex pipe for an easy fix and it hasn't leaked. Hth's
This type of p trap is illegal in the USA and will not pass inspection.
Why? Please state why and with good reason and evidence
All the “plumbers” can shut up. This drain works. If it fails in 7 years who cares its cheap and sometimes the best solution. Idk what yall are putting down your drains to have them fail so quick.
Is this code?
NO!
Debris will watch on the ribbed or accordian part, and the material is poop. Will last no where near as long as abs, and is way cheaper made.
Whatever you do, don't take this guy's advise on plumbing... HACK!!
Those traps are notorious for being a piece of shit - and I'm an actual plumber.
What are some of the issues? I’d love to hear from an expert what to watch for. Thanks!
@@MyProjectWeekend any “expert” will say these suck because it makes it easy diy for normal people and less work for them. As long as you aren’t using it in kitchen with a garbage disposable I have never heard of any issues. Maybe take it out and clean it every few years other then that I have had one in for 7 years strong
My flexible p trap eroded in a few years.
@@MyProjectWeekend hello, I'm no expert but the area where the nut connects to the j bend keeps leaking no matter what I do . Can you PLEASE HELP😊
Sometimes it's the only solution. If you're a plumber doing it out of laziness, sure, bad idea. But a homeowner faced with impossible geometry in a tight space? Keep a spare handy. Anything is better than an actual plumber.
That corrugated trap is illegal! End of story!
this is terrible. Corrugated drains should never be used, and are against code. If you don't have the knowledge or time to do it right when will you have time to do it over?
NO NO NO not to code and if you are a homeowner it can invalidate your home insurance policy 😮please do not do this ever again to any sink bathroom or kitchen! Not legal in any state!! ❌❌❌⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Everyone objects to this but nobody provides the code that makes it not legal.
