PlumbingInstallation & Assembly3MediumPlumber$ implied

Plumbing rough-in pipe length is slightly short, causing trap to sit at an awkward angle that requires a complex workaround to fit correctly.

No purpose-built tool or adjustable fitting exists to easily adapt a rough-in that is slightly too short, forcing plumbers to manually piece together multiple fittings as a workaround.
