Yes, if they are the proper size to mate, or match up.

You just replace it. How depends on what type of pipe. Metal pipe, the trap is usually held on with nuts that connect the trap to the sink and the main pipe. On PVC or plastic, it may be glued in place. Rarely is all the drain glued. The piece going up to the sink should have a slip joint right above the trap with a nut. There should be enough of this tube in the trap to allow you to cut the trap out and glue in another one. Cut the trap off the drain line as close to the trap as possible. The drain should be straight at this point. Glue a new one in and reconnect to the sink. The trap will drop down 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, but there should still be enough pipe to connect. If there is not, an extension is available. Without seeing it, there is no way to give more specific directions.
A p-trap is connected to a drain pipe by being installed underneath the sink or fixture. The curved shape of the p-trap holds water to prevent sewer gases from coming back up the drain pipe.
To connect a sink drain properly, first assemble the necessary parts such as the P-trap, tailpiece, and drain pipe. Place the P-trap under the sink and connect it to the tailpiece and drain pipe. Tighten the connections securely using slip-joint pliers. Make sure the connections are watertight to prevent leaks. Finally, test the drain by running water to ensure it is working correctly.
Shower drain goes into a trap under shower. Continue piping from trap to drain line.
no, in fact most plumbing codes require a 2" drain/trap for washing maching drain.
If you mean the joint at the bottom of the sink drain that curves up and hooks to the pipe leading through the wall, it is called a "P" trap (due to its shape). The trap is held in place by two nuts, one attaches it to the sink drain and the other attaches it to the drain pipe leading outside. Loosen the two nuts to disconnect the trap and pull down on it. Have a bucket handy as it will have water in it and will spill. If you have a problem with slow drainage, you might want to run a snake through the drain pipe while the trap is off. Installation is the reverse, be sure to use teflon tape or other kind of thread sealer to prevent leakage through the threads.
A shower drain plumbing diagram typically includes the shower drain, trap, waste pipe, and vent pipe.
It doesn't. A grease trap collects grease, a pipe just conveys it there.
As long as the pipe going into the wall is straight, the rest of the drain pipe can be routed however it needs to be. Very often the trap is at an angle to the pipe in the wall.
Remove whatever is obstructing the drain. -- First, get a bottle of one of the liquid drain openers from any drugstore chain. Follow the directions on the label and see what happens. If the first application doesn't open the drain, do it a second time. If that doesn't do it, then ... -- Assume the obstruction is a solid object stuck in the drain pipe. Look down under the sink for a section of pipe that goes down--up--down. That's the 'trap'; things that fall down the drain are supposed to stay in the trap. There's a big pipe-nut above and below the trap. Loosen both, and drop the trap section out of the pipe. Water and gunk dribble out on you and on the floor. Clean out the trap, re-assemble everything, and see if anything changed. If the drain is still not running, then the clog is farther down, past the trap. There's one more thing you can do if you still want to work on it yourself: -- Borrow or buy a so-called "snake". It's a long, flexible metal thing that can be run down into the drain pipe and rotated, to dig out whatever is stuck way down in the pipe. If you start it at the sink drain, it probably won't be able to make the bends past the trap, so you should open the trap again and feed the snake into the straight pipe below the trap. -- If none of this does the job, it's time to call a plumber.
To install a shower pee trap, first, remove the existing drain cover. Then, insert the pee trap into the drain pipe and secure it in place. Finally, replace the drain cover and test the trap to ensure it is functioning properly.
The trap is built into the toilet itself, you shouldn't put one in the drain.
