Can you provide a diagram of a sink P-trap for better understanding?
I'm unable to provide diagrams, but I can describe a sink P-trap for you. A sink P-trap is a curved pipe located under the sink that traps water to prevent sewer gases from entering the house. It has a U-shaped bend that holds water to create a seal. This seal prevents odors and gases from coming back up the drain.
What are the different parts of a sink trap?
A sink trap typically consists of three main parts: the U-shaped trap bend, the trap arm, and the trap adapter. The U-shaped trap bend holds water to prevent sewer gases from entering the house. The trap arm connects the trap bend to the drain pipe, and the trap adapter connects the trap to the sink's tailpiece.
What are the steps to properly install a p-trap assembly in a sink?
To properly install a p-trap assembly in a sink, follow these steps: Remove the existing p-trap assembly, if applicable. Place the new p-trap under the sink drain. Connect the trap arm to the sink drain and the trap bend to the trap arm. Tighten the slip nuts with pliers to secure the connections. Check for leaks by running water through the sink. Make adjustments if needed to ensure a proper seal. Test the sink again to confirm the p-trap is installed correctly.
How do you install a P-trap under a sink?

Can you use the existing shower drain for a pedestal sink and do you need a trap for the sink since there is already a trap in the floor?
No and yes. Amendment (not from a professional plumber!): If you were simply running the sink drain into the shower drain and if there was not a reduction in pipe size, I would think you would be able to do that. I think the reason you need a trap for the sink has to do with code that requires a trap be no more than 24" from the basin to the trap arm. That being said, the pedestal sink in my house does not have a trap until after it drains below the floor.
