How to fix bathroom vanity plumbing?

I have replaced my existing bathroom vanity with a new one and need some feedback & suggestions for the waste/drain plumbing.

I know I should have hired a licensed plumber to do this, but I am on a budget here. I need some feedback on the plumbing and know if what I have done is satisfactory or does it need any improvement.

The connection/joint between the trap and PVC pipe does not look correct to me. It seems there is some size difference or I need to use some sort of adapter for this joint. I have tested the fitting for water leaks by manually pouring water in the basin and confirmed there is no leak.

So far all plumbing is draft and I have not yet glued any joints so I have the option of redoing the joints if I need to.

I have also included a photo from the old vanity showing the previous plumbing work.

Thank you in advance for your time.

I’m afraid I can’t provide plumbing advice on whether your installation is fully correct or compliant @husainZahid. It’s not just a legal matter, it’s a safety and compliance issue, and plumbing work really does require a licensed plumber to verify and complete.

From the photos you’ve shared, I can say that the connection you’ve made looks like a standard compression fitting going into a short length of PVC that then meets the bend, which suggests the sizes are compatible. I don’t personally see any immediate issues with it, and it held water when you tested it.

That said, I can’t confirm that this is fully correct or compliant, and the safest course is to have a licensed plumber review or make the connections. I’m sorry I can’t provide more specific guidance here, but it’s really the only way to be sure your installation is safe and up to code.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
