Do you know off hand how long a 2 inch no-hub coupling is? I haven't
measured yet exactly with everything in place. I think I will be using
about a 4 inch piece of 2 inch straight, that is unless I use that
coupling. The coupling gives me the adjustability and flexibility I need
to get it all apart. Other than that I figure that I'll need to either
leave one of the fittings unglued (duct tape and hope), or maybe put the
sink on risers of some kind (at least 1/4 inch). I need that 1/4+ inch
of play to get the nutted connector in the P-Trap apart.
