OATEY 1046-17BN-1 Dearborn® 1-1/4" Double Slip Joint Trap Offset - 17 Ga. w/ Brass Nuts

Yes. The Dearborn 1046-17BN-1 is a 1-1/4 inch P-trap with slip joint connections on both ends, so it mates to standard 1-1/4 inch tubular tailpiece and waste arm. Slip joints mean no soldering or threading, just the nut and rubber washer compressed onto the tube. It ships with 2 nuts and 2 rubber washers.

It is brass tube, 17 gauge, with brass slip nuts. Seventeen gauge is the heavier of the two common tubular wall thicknesses, which is what you want for commercial restrooms, schools, and multi-family where a plastic trap gets kicked or snaked. The brass nuts also take repeated service without rounding off the way plastic does.

No. The trap comes with 2 brass slip nuts and 2 rubber washers, which covers both of its slip joint ends. What it does not include is the tailpiece from the fixture drain or the waste arm into the wall, so order those separately in 1-1/4 inch to match.

Kitchen sinks are normally 1-1/2 inch, so a 1-1/4 inch trap is the wrong size for that drain. The 1046-17BN-1 is sized for lavatory and small bar or utility sink waste, which is where 1-1/4 inch tubular is standard. For a kitchen sink, step up to a 1-1/2 inch trap.

Offset means the trap's outlet is shifted laterally rather than sitting directly in line, so it lets you pick up a drain stub that does not line up with the fixture tailpiece. Use it on lavatory and sink rough-ins where the wall waste is off-center from the drain, instead of fighting the alignment with extra fittings. If your tailpiece and waste arm already line up, a plain P-trap is the simpler choice.

Chrome. That makes it suitable for exposed applications under a wall-hung or pedestal lavatory where the trap is visible and the supplies and stops are chrome. The 1046 pattern is also offered in a brass finish if your building standard is unlacquered or polished brass trim.

Both ends are slip joint with brass nuts, so you break the joints with a wrench, pull the trap, clear it, and reinstall with the same washers if they are still sound. Nothing is glued or soldered. That is the main reason maintenance departments spec tubular brass over glued PVC under exposed lavatories.

Listed product weight is 0.6, so it is a light single-carry item that stocks easily in a van bin alongside spare washers. Volume is listed at 0.025.
