OATEY 2650-1 Dearborn® 1-1/4" J-Bend - Budget Ga.

Yes. The Dearborn 2650-1 is a 1-1/4 inch J-bend, the standard bathroom lavatory drain size, and it connects by slip joint on both ends. That means it slides over 1-1/4 inch tubular tailpiece and trap arm with a slip nut and washer rather than threading or gluing.

No. Kitchen sinks run 1-1/2 inch tubular drain, and the 2650-1 is a 1-1/4 inch J-bend, so it is a lavatory (bathroom sink) part. For a kitchen you want the 1-1/2 inch equivalent J-bend.

Yes, that is the usual repair. Because both ends are slip joint, you loosen the two nuts, pull the corroded bend out and drop the 2650-1 in without cutting anything, provided your existing tubular is 1-1/4 inch. Replace the washers while it is apart.

Drainage only. Maximum working pressure is 15 psi, which is a gravity drain rating, not a supply rating. Never put a slip joint J-bend on a pressurized water line.

It is brass with a chrome plated finish. Brass tubular resists crushing and handles hot water better than PVC, which is why property managers use chrome brass on exposed lavatory traps where the drain is visible. Note the 2650-1 is the budget gauge version, so the wall is thinner than heavy-gauge Dearborn tubular; for high-abuse public restrooms step up to a heavier gauge.

The 2650-1 is the J-bend itself. Plan on having slip nuts and washers on hand in 1-1/4 inch, plus a tailpiece and trap adapter if you are building the trap from scratch rather than reusing the existing nuts.
