American Standard M964297-0020A Straight Tailpiece For Bed - AMS-M964297

It's a straight tailpiece, the vertical tube that runs from the sink drain body down to the P-trap. American Standard lists it as a sink drain assembly part, so it's a replacement piece for a sink waste outlet rather than a complete drain kit.

Use a straight tailpiece like the American Standard M964297-0020A when the drain outlet sits directly above the trap inlet. If the trap is set to one side (common when a disposal, a deep bowl, or a rear-wall drain pushes things out of line), you need an offset tailpiece instead; a straight one will force you to cock the trap and that's where leaks start.

Chrome is the only finish this American Standard tailpiece is offered in, ordered under part number M964297-0020A. If you need a brushed nickel or matte black exposed trap arm to match a bottle trap under a vessel sink, this isn't the piece for it.

It's the tailpiece only. Plan on having your slip nut and washer at the trap connection, and the trap itself, already on hand or in the job cart. American Standard sells this as a single drain assembly component, not a kit.

American Standard specifies this tailpiece for sink use. Tub waste and overflow assemblies use their own drain shoe and tubular sizes, so don't pull this piece into a tub rough-in. For a bathroom lavatory, match the tailpiece diameter to the pop-up body before assuming it swaps over.

A disposal discharges through its own outlet elbow into the trap, so the sink tailpiece on the disposal bowl is removed entirely. On a double bowl, this straight tailpiece would serve the non-disposal side feeding the continuous waste tee, provided that outlet lines up straight over the tee.
