Where does the drain pipe go in a vanity?
Since wall drain pipe clears the vanity, I am thinking running 90 degree going up and then attaching the rest to the p-trap. Not sure if this matters. Within the wall, drain pipe doesn’t go straight down. It turns left and goes towards toilet.
Is the drain trap too low for a vanity?
If it comes to it, sacrifice the vanity shelf and get your waste pipes as close to perfect as you can. Future you will thank you, you can always add more storage/shelving elsewhere. You have one decent opportunity to get your sink drainage as good as you possibly can, function over form. Instead of 90’s use 45 degree fittings.
How big is the pipe from the sink to the drain?
It turns out the drain included with the faucet is an 1¼” pipe, which I suppose is pretty standard now. The problem is, my waste/sewer pipe from the wall is a 1½ ” opening, as is my P-trap/J-bend. Obviously when I place the new drain in the P-trap, it just swims in it and I can’t make a watertight connection.
Why does my sink tailpiece not line up with the drain?
If you find that it leaks after you tighten everything up, and you have water on top of the reducing washer on the tailpiece, it means your drain assembly isn’t watertight against the sink.

Where is the tailpiece on a kitchen sink?
The tailpiece is the middle section of pipe above the curved P-trap. The sink tailpiece is the pipe directly below your sink that connects to the drain on one end and to the curved P-trap on the other. If the tailpiece is leaking, then water is falling inside your kitchen or bathroom cabinet.
