I'm completely new with basic plumbing, but last ngiht after my new sink went in I tried reattaching the garbage disposal and new faucet. It wasn't too bad but the disposal sits a little lower than before so the p-trap no longer connects to the drain. See the image:

How do I go about attaching these parts?

A reversible p-trap

would allow you use an extension attached to the black elbow on the disposal. By using the reversible trap you are moving the long part of the trap to the j pipe side and creating distance on the disposal side that you then fill with and extension.

  • Could probably get away with reversing the J they already have, though the sharp angle might not be the best thing when flow is reversed.

  • Looks like you might just be able to "horse" it on there....

You will need to either shorten the tailpipe from the drain to the disposal if possible, get an extension, or buy a replacement p-trap setup.
