I got a new faucet to install but I realized after the purchase that it doesn't have a diverter, thus I will have to use the factory provided "Push and Seal" drain by Pfister
One of the issues is that the 1.25" drain is plastic but my existing pipes appear to be metal.
It looks to me like the metal pipe is sealed together with teflon tape. I'm assuming that it probably functions in a similar manner to the equivalent PVC fittings.
Could I still use the existing pipe and attach it to the plastic drain or would I need to replace the whole run with PVC?
I'm hoping I can keep the existing pipes for now-- even though I don't like the S-trap-- since I would have to go under the house to do it.
Would the metal ones fit ok temporarily? Can pipe dope be used with the metal and plastic together?
