Taking a look at the plumbing for an Ikea vanity. The shutoffs were in the wrong place blocking the location for the tail pipe and the trap adapter / plumbing in the wall was too small for the special Ikea drain parts and P trap.
List of non-Ikea parts used:
1 1/4" solvent weld extension tube
1 1/2"-1 1/4" reducer ring
1 1/2 90 degree plastic elbow

You're providing solid and easy solution here - the real problem is the 1 1/4" stub out from the wall. I can't imagine less than 1 1/2" stub outs. Nice job
Newer sinks from Ikea do not have the overflow tubing. But this 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 drain conversion still remains a problem in 2021. Thanks for this video. I am going to try to find that reducer fitting. An alternative is to use 1-1/4 p-trap and connect it to the vertical output drain pipe from the Ikea hardware (which will need to be cut. You will need an actual reducer coupling there, not just the bushing that looks like a ring.
Thank you for the info. I'm saving it in case there's an issue with our install. We kind of panicked when we saw that the drawers would not accommodate our existing plumbing (and hadn't opened sink box yet to see that Ikea included their own pipes).
Surprise, surprise! I got all the way to poking the stub into the wall and found the same thing as you! Thank you very much for the video, now I'm hunting rather than fishing for a part! All the best!
Last week I finally took the parts that you talk about to the IKEA store in the Denver Metro area and met with the department manager and told him the issues and showed him the parts and provided him with photos of the solution in my brothers bathroom. Tonight I am emailing him all of the Home Depot parts internet pages, my photos and your video. I did tell him that if IKEA is not going to provide the correct connection parts, they at least need to provide as video similar to yours or yours.He did say that ACE Hardware has a package of items that solves the problem.
I have talked to sales people in the bath department several times over the last few years after finding your video. None of them had ever heard of the problem and told me that no customers had ever complained. I talked to a store assistant manager and was told the same thing. I have called IKEA corporate and told them of the problem and have emailed them your video.
I feel that everyone that has ever viewed your wonderful video and those that are going to, need to go to their local IKEA and meet with the bathroom department manager and do the same as I have done.
IKEA needs to deal with this issue.
Thanks for your thoughtful feedback. This is a unique problem that we are addressing in the video. Typical installatioms won't benefit from this approach. Ikea does include the parts necessary to complete the standard installation. It wouldn't be possible to envision every potential scenario and accommodate them. That's the responsibility of an installer.
Thanks so MuChhhhhhh my husband was going crazy with this installation and this helped a lot!!! We were about to return this because could not figure this out! Thanks agrian
Thank you SO MUCH we needed exactly this and your parts list was incredibly helpful as well.
Thanks for the video! No one at the plumbing stores was able to give me solution. Finally I got my sink set up :D
Before doing this I would recommend getting a 2nd or 3rd opinion. I showed this to my plumbing supply guy and he just shook his head. I showed it to my local hardware store plumbing pro and got the same response. (Basically you don't want a 90 coming out of the wall, according to them, and that it would fail a code inspection.) I ended up simply getting a 1.5" --> 1.25" reducer at ACE and doing a very standard 1.25" p trap install, then modified the back of the bottom drawer so it closes normally.
yeah. i was think cut out the back of the drawer to fit. is that what you did?
@@Mr._Chievous Yes sorry I should've been more clear about what I did. I simply cut a small rectangle out of the back piece using a jigsaw. You have to cut out a lot less than you think, so start small and go bigger.
Thank you!!! I used your video and parts list for our sink install as well. Worked wonderfully! 👍🔧
How did you tightened up between 1 1/4 wall pipe and 1 1/4 extension tube? Just fit it OR PVC cement maybe?
Thanks! A great help to solving a problem I was having with installation.
You would think that IKEA would provide an adapter or correct size for the country they are selling in. Fernco adapters are always my resolution.
Thanks for sharing. it helped me a lot.It is much better than using PVC Form N Fit Slip Joint Tailpiece.I also had to extend faucet connector.
In the Ikea standard install the drain hole and the waste are offset by a few inches. This affects the position of the cabinet. Which in my case is a problem. It looks like you may have the horizontal drain pipe at an angle to the wall.
Thank you so much for this design. The links were really helpful. Up and running today after much frustration. Bravo 👏
It is 2020 and this video is still extremely helpful. Quick question, is your 1 1/4 wall drain inlet threaded, thus the 1 1/2 elbow (with reducer) screwed on?
I'm wonder this as well. Did that 1-1/2" elbow screw onto the 1-1/4" threads or was the reducing gasket sufficient?
You are the man!
Thank you for this video
Definitely that helps. Great, thanks.
My ikea pipes are NOT 1-1/2. Much smaller. Less than 1-1/4, even. Don’t know what to do.
Hi! Thank you so much for your video. We live in an old building that has copper pipes. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the Ikea pipes fit all types of pipes. ALso, do you think the plastic types are cheap and will break earlier than other pipes.
Mine drains slow. I snaked my pipe from the 90 degree from the wall all the way down and nothing came out. I’m thinking it drains slow bc of back pressure or something
Most drains protruding out the wall is 1 1/2
Talking backwards but I get you. US 1 1/2 threaded waste pipe from the wall. Ikea stuff needs to be reduced to 1 1/4" parts.
Thanks for the tip!
Can somone please let me know how high the waste and water in should be set into the wall please.
So if my wall pipes are say not perfectly aligned do I have room withing the unit to reroute some of the piping? I'm gonna install 2 Godmorgan side by side for a double vanity as the existing is a single vanity but with 2 sinks. I just wanna ensure it will work out due to limited space from left to right.
This whole thing has been a nightmare. Ikea doesn't bother to tell you that you have to teflon tape the treads before screwing them tight. I also don't know you fit 1 1/2 inch coupler to the 1 1/4 stub coming from the wall.
Is it possible to install Ikea water trap with a Duravit sink?
Can you add an air admittance valve to that configuration?
Whats the center to center of the trap
Can you connect IKEA pipes to a non IKEA sink?
Fitting it in isnt the problem. It's Ikeas proprietary parts that leak
I guess clamped rubber flex pipe of that size would do the trick. But that's only guess
flex pipe? You cannot use flex pipe
@@sapreaper why not?
@@Mr._Chievous First it is against code. Anything corrugated restricts the standard flow of a pipe (Code violation) Even is you used one of those "pvc" type rubbery pipes or traps, imagine putting away your bottles of cleaning supplies under the sink, and it pinches any pipe that is not rigid. That is why it is against code. You cannot use anything that could possibly obstruct the diameter of the pipe ie:("flexible" pipe).
@@sapreaper sorry, i was thinking he meant a fernco which i had to use on one of my installations. i don't know what else he could possibly be referring to
@@Mr._Chievous if it us soft and not rigid it is against code. Fernco is a brand and makes a bunch of items. A fernco coupling however can be used in certain situations. The op stated "flex".
How much clearance is there from the wall to the back of the sliding cabinets. My water lines stick out too much and need to know how far back i need to cut. Thank you
The cabinet has 4” of clearance. I cut all my water pipes so the end of the handles were at 2-2.5 inches and my sewer pipe from the wall was about 1-1.5” max so the 90 degree wouldn’t stick out more than 3” just for safety.
Just installed mine yesterday!
I have the exact same problem with 1 1/4 pipe in the house and need to connect 1 1/2 Ikea kit. What is the "something like this" tubing? It looks like its 1/14 on one end and 1 1/2 on the other?
Robert Cracchiolo No, it is just a piece of 1 1/4" solvent weld extension tube. One end is flared to accept another piece of 1 1/4" tube so I cut it to length and discarded the flared end.
Ikea might as well be own by Apple!
Do you have any recommendations for an IKEA Godmorgon Vanity with an undermount sink and marble slab top?
So the extension tube goes into the pipe coming out of the wall?
I wish he'd answer some of these questions. I was wondering that too and have been messing with this for 3 days now trying to get it right.
The person at ikea that invented this drawer cabinet is a sadist....
Who puts Teflon tape on compression supply lines?
Not me, but a lot of people do cause they don't know any better. Obviously not needed!
@@prokitchenbuilders at least it won't leak!! Thank you for this video btw. I got stuck installing one of these sinks and there were no instructions at all. Kind of figured this is how it went , but had to be sure. Thank you! This video is a glimmer of hope on an otherwise shitty jobsite I have been working on lol.
I bought an Ikea ODENSVIK sink and Godmorgan Vanity in the AS IS section of Ikea. I don't have the plumbing kit. Does anyone know if I can purchase that separately?
All the plumbing is packaged with the sink
@@azdiamondbacks28 no, she said it was "AS-IS", so it did NOT come with the sink....
Thank u so much for this video. I was getting so irritated
Thanks for the video! Does your sink drain hole line up with the waste pipe?
Riddlemewalker probably pretty close but I don't remember for sure. Why do you ask?
I wish you had shown the actual installation. I’ve tried to attach the extension tube to the trap, but the nut simply won’t thread on due to the reducing washer! It seems like the reducing washer is getting in the way. I’ve tried everything.
Please help!!!
Hi Matt, hard to tell exactly what's going on without being there! Wish I could help. Sorry!
I have the same problem! very frustrating. In Canada where I am from, the plumbing system is ABS (the black pipe). So coming out of the wall I have a 1-1/4" female compression fitting.
In your video, the 1-1/2" 90deg, is that FxF? I am trying to figure out how you are making that wall connection?
At the wall there is a 1 1/4" trap adapter. I inserted a piece of 1 1/4" solvent weld extension tubing (www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-1-4-in-x-6-in-PVC-Solvent-Weld-Extension-Tube-C9786/205153652) with the flare end cut off into the trap adapter. To the other side of the tubing i attached the 1 1/2" 90 degree fitting that is visible. I used a reducer ring (www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-1-2-in-x-1-1-4-in-Reducing-Washer-2-Pack-C7198C/205153871) to make that connection. Hope that helps!
Exactly what I needed, thank you
I have the same situation i believe but what are you using to connect 1 1/4 extension tube to the trap outlet? I understand the elbow with the reducer on one end but for my setup i also needed an 1 1/4 threaded nut and washer for the trap adatper side.
cch068 so did the 1 1/4” nut help? I’m having trouble threading the extension tube to the trap! Please help:)
I don’t see how this works either. How do you thread a 1-1/2 nut on a 1-1/4” trap adapter? It’s too large. The reducer just gives a tight fit for the 1-1/4” tube insert, but you must have a trap adapter that is sized for a 1-1/2” elbow.
Mate, that upper horizontal drain tube is supposed to "click" into place at a certain position (length). I'm having trouble lining up my drain with the IKEA factory position. If I have it at a different length and seal the end with silicone, do you think I'll be okay? My guess is yes because it is low pressure only.
hose clamp
Thanks for this video! Before i buy the godmorgon, I want to be sure I'll be able to have it installed. My shutoffs extend 4 1/2". Assuming I can cut the p trap, get converters, etc., will there be enough clearance for the shutoffs. Some comments I've read say there is only 3 3/4" clearance btw the draw & wall. if needed, can shutoffs be replaced with smaller pieces? thx again!
SRB Thanks for the question. I don't know the clearance off the top of my head. Going to put one in next week so I could check it. Regarding the shut offs, as long as you have some pipe sticking out of the wall you can cut it and install new shutoffs closer to the wall. Depending on the the heights, they may even land between drawers so replacement wouldn't be necessary.
Thx for your reply! i realized after I asked that I probably can't shut the water down to change the shutoffs since I live in an apt building so most likely would have to cut the drawers. Not sure this will be worth it!😀
closed drawers is exactly 4" from the back of the cabinet if you apply the "dots" (those clear plastic/rubber bumps stop things) to the inside of the doors that come with the cabinet
What pieces did you actually have to get from a construction store? It looks like you had to get "a piece of 1 1/4" solvent weld extension tube", but did you also have to get the 90 degree piece right at the wall and the reducer ring? Sorry, just trying to translate into what extra bits I'll need at Home Depot...
Lara C. Yes I got the 90 degree slip joint and the reducer ring at home Depot. Keep in mind, part of the issue in this case, in addition to having a too small (1 1/4") trap adapter, was running into the cold water shutoff valve. Using the parts I did helped me to get far enough over to miss it. You might be able to do it differently in your situation depending on what problem you're trying to solve.
omg I would NEVER buy a vanity with a drawer in the high center like that, Yuck!
I hate IKEA
