ordered one from EBay, a couple of weeks ago. They gave an estimated
arrival date near the end of July. We wanted to use the coach mid-July,
so I kept looking, even though I had ordered that one. Surprise!!! I got
an email saying it was delivered to our post office last Saturday.
Stopped by today, and there it was. It was even the right part, and it
fit. Went to Home Depot and got the trap adaptor that goes with it, and
that fit too.
Now all I have to do is get the two parts glued together, and glued to
the pipe, and we can use the galley sink. Much easier than washing dishes
in the bathroom.

I have Gary and Nick along with myself to work on keeping parts.

Hi, Jim
Does your stock of 1 1/4" ABS pipe fittings include a 1 1/2" to 1 1/4"
reducing device of some sort?
My coach has a 1 1/4" ABS pipe to the black tank. One of the POs replaced
(?) the ABS trap, and apparently got some solvent on the screw on fitting
between the trap and the 1 1/4" pipe. The fitting no longer turns, but
the connection leaks. I cut it off, not knowing about the unavailability
of a replacement. Now I need an adaptor beween the two sizes.

Thanks,
Ron Clark

If it makes any difference for someone down the road. I had a heck of a time finding ABS pipe and fittings close by when I redid my black tank. I
ended up locating a Lowes about 45 mins down the road that literally had a full aisle of everything anyone could ever want in ABS. I asked about it
and they said there were a lot of manufactured homes and some mobile home parks near by and that is what they all use for waste piping.

I got an 8 foot stick of 3 inch and of 1 1/4 and saved the rest in the attic.

You may find that you can do a search on Home Depot or Lowes, Menards and have them ship the stuff to a more local store for you for free.

You dont want to mix ABS and PVC.
