Trap Offset

Offset tubes for lining up a sink trap with the drain. The collection includes Dearborn double slip joint trap offsets in 1-1/4" and 1-1/2", in 20 gauge and plastic versions.

An offset shifts the tailpiece sideways when the sink outlet and trap do not line up. Match the tube diameter, 1-1/4" for lavatories or 1-1/2" for kitchen sinks, and check how much offset is needed. Use new slip joint washers and nuts, and hand tighten plastic parts to avoid cracking.
