Further to my comment, the reason I'm asking this is that I am replacing a sink with a porcelain pedestal sink. The good news is that the hot/cold water pipes will be almost directly behind the pedestal sink. The bad news is that the drain pipe will run to the right of the pedestal base. The current black ABS drain pipes will be replaced by white PVC pipes to blend in with the white color of the sink. But what do you suggest I do with the copper part (sticking out about 5 ") of drain pipe?

Sorry I can't imagine what you describe.

Might be best if you join the forum and ask in the plumbing section, you can post a picture of the problem in there! Just follow the link from my channel page ;-)

Hello, I have to cut a copper water supply line which runs to my sink (hot & cold).

Then I want to replace it with a flexible supply line, for a pedestal sink. But I need a thread at the end of the copper pipe which I just cut. Can I accomplish this with some kind of compression fitting? Thanks.

@aspiceno

You need a flexi tail.

There is a video in the plumbing playlist on how to use them
