The bottom part of the T was able to slip into the bend of the trap by unscrewing the joint and sliding the compression ring upwards on the T – this is the joint just visible at the bottom of my picture. If I did want to lower it to the full 1/4" past level, I would need to get a longer drain pipe for the sink and I may have to cut some off the bottom of the T connector, or else it would bend the whole trap assembly lower. | |

The tailpiece above the tee may then have to be longer to make up the difference unless I am looking at the picture wrong. | |
