How to Unclog an ABS P-Trap

If your P-trap is ABS plastic, unclogging is slightly different:

1. Locate the Cleanout Plug:
   Many ABS P-traps have a bottom cleanout plug. Use a wrench to open this while holding a bucket underneath.
2. Drain the Water:
   Let the water drain completely.
3. Disassemble If Needed:
   If still clogged, use the wrench to loosen the trap adapter and remove the P-trap from the tailpiece. Pull it down slowly and firmly.
4. Clean Out Debris:
   Remove hair, grease, or buildup from the P-trap manually.
5. Reconnect:
   Reattach securely, ensuring there are no leaks.
