Oatey PP81255 J-bend Flex N Fix 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The OATEY PP81255 is a 1-1/2 inch J-bend drain fitting designed for flexible drain line repairs and new installations under sinks and lavatories. The outlet connects to a 1-1/2 inch I.P.S. elbow, making it compatible with standard drain configurations found in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This fitting is handled by licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing DIYers who need a reliable, adjustable J-bend solution without sourcing rigid pre-formed traps. The compact package dimensions of 8.8 inches by 7.95 inches by 2.4 inches reflect a retail-card format sold one piece per card.

This fitting is intended for use in drain, waste, and vent applications where a 1-1/2 inch drain outlet is present. Typical installation scenarios include under-sink trap replacement on bathroom lavatories and kitchen sinks where the existing rigid J-bend has cracked, corroded, or no longer aligns with the drain outlet. The flexible design accommodates minor misalignment between the trap arm and the drain outlet, reducing the need for additional offset fittings.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch nominal size fits standard residential drain outlets
• Outlet connects to 1-1/2 inch I.P.S. elbow for straightforward integration
• Flexible design accommodates minor drain line misalignment
• Sold individually, one per card, for single-repair convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement J-bend for residential drain systems using 1-1/2 inch I.P.S. drain fittings and elbows.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified plumbing technician in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply lines and clear standing water from the trap before removal of the existing J-bend. Hand-tighten slip-joint nuts first to confirm alignment before applying final torque with channel-lock pliers. Do not overtighten plastic slip-joint connections, as this can crack the fitting body or the slip nut.
