Dearborn A9046A Double Slip Joint Offset Trap 1-1/2 Abs

Product Description

The DEARBORN A9046A is a double slip joint offset trap designed for residential and light commercial drain applications where standard trap configurations cannot accommodate straight-line alignment between the fixture outlet and the drain stub-out. Built from ABS plastic in a black finish, this 1-1/2 inch trap provides the offset geometry needed to bridge lateral misalignment while maintaining the water seal required by code. The double slip joint design allows field adjustment during installation without solvent welding, making it a practical choice for plumbers working in tight or non-standard rough-in conditions.

This trap is suited for use beneath bathroom lavatories, utility sinks, and similar fixtures where the drain outlet and the in-wall or in-floor stub-out are horizontally offset. The 1-1/2 inch sizing matches the most common lavatory drain line diameter. Plumbers working on remodels, fixture replacements, or new construction with shifted rough-in locations will find this offset configuration useful where a standard P-trap would leave a gap that requires additional fittings.

Key Features

• Double slip joint construction allows tool-free length and angle adjustment during install
• Offset geometry bridges lateral misalignment between fixture outlet and drain stub-out
• 1-1/2 inch size matches standard lavatory and light-duty sink drain lines
• ABS material is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and compatible with ABS drain systems
• Black finish suits exposed drain installations where aesthetics matter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation trap for residential and light commercial plumbing drain systems using 1-1/2 inch ABS slip joint connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified tradespeople in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and clear standing water from the drain line before removing an existing trap. Hand-tighten slip joint nuts to achieve a watertight seal, then snug with slip joint pliers - do not overtighten, as ABS fittings can crack under excessive force. Verify the installed trap maintains the required water seal depth per applicable code before returning the fixture to service.
