The black plastic pipe you talk about must be polyethelene pipe. Poly
pipe can be easily cut with a hand tool designed for that purpose.
It is the same type of tool used to cut any type of plastic pipe.
Looks like a pair of scissors and has one sharp blade, not expensive,
makes a nice square cut. Link:

If the clearance don't allow for that tool then you can use a
reciprocating saw or even a hacksaw. If you decide you don't want to
cut it then any kind of fittings are available for poly pipe.


Thanks for the replies. I got it together using the stub sticking out of
the wall which existed after I hacksawed the elbow off that was there.
There was JUST enough. As Lawrence said the black pipe is PVC. 1st time
I've dealt with it, the primer & glue routine (nasty stuff!) though I've
seen it done countless times on home shows. Everything works great, looks
great & NO LEAKS! And the disposal drain was plenty high - I had to buy an
extender for the outlet tube for it to reach low enough!

Thanks again
