A tailpiece is a section of pipe that connects a fixture outlet, such as a sink drain or P-trap, to the waste line. It is typically made from materials like PVC, chrome-plated brass, or stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. Tailpieces come in various lengths and diameters, depending on the fixture’s requirements and the drain configuration. Proper installation of the tailpiece involves securing it with slip nuts, washers, and gaskets to create a leak-proof connection, allowing wastewater to flow efficiently into the drainage system.
