Thanks for all the replies. The photo evidently doesn't adequately illustrate the problem. The only adjustable part is P-trap. The big pipe to the sewer, on the right, is not adjustable (not with my level of skill). The angle of the photo may not show it, but the tail pipe and the p-trap will line up if the assembly was movable and could swing over.

Anyone familiar with flexible PVC. Is that a viable remedy?

Do not use flexible PVC pipe or you'll be sorry later on down the line!
Do as Cow Hop Ag recommended and cut the vertical pipe on the right an inch or 2 below the Tee. Purchase a union and reconnect/glue the pieces back together after you rotate the top portion to properly line up the p-trap with the tailpipe so you can connect them together.
Also as noted, shorten the tailpipe a little bit so it does not bottom out with the p-trap.
Reason I went the route I did is because the pic doesn't really give you a good depiction of the distance between the 2 vertical pipes so I assumed rotating the drain line vertical section on the right to line up the p-trap section with the tailpipe would be the best solution. But that's JMHO. The 45 elbow may not work as easily as you note depending on the actual gap distance between the 2 vertical sections whereas rotating the right section to better align with the tailpipe would work regardless. Guess it's just my OCD kicking in seeing another coupler piece being added to this plumbing in order to resolve the issue. But to each his own...JP76 said:Gary79Ag said:

I wouldn't rotate the tee. It would be easier to cut the 1 1/2 pvc reducer off and glue on a 45 elbow with new reducer
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing...Och26-58-87 said:

This is an outdoor kitchen. Just installed new granite counter tops and the sink is a different size and located in a different spot. The sink is rarely actually used, so, no emergency situation here.Och26-58-87 said:

I noticed all those and a couple others. But, I did my best to temper my OCD in my question.Gary79Ag said:Yeah, I was wondering the same thing...Och26-58-87 said:

Plus, is that romex in the background running through a metal stud with no grommet/bushing installed to protect the wiring?
Damn OCD...
Ok - if it were indoor I was going to caution at the vent cap being lower than the sink itself was a no-no - especially if it were say second floor.wisdom said:This is an outdoor kitchen.

.....I think I will look into the 45 degree PVC connections. Apparently, I will need 2 of them.
.....Again. thanks for everyones' replies.
BTW, I relooked at the pics and realize there is grommets/bushings in the studs. I was focused on the center stud when I posted but saww the left stud now so all is good there!Och26-58-87 said:Ok - if it were indoor I was going to caution at the vent cap being lower than the sink itself was a no-no - especially if it were say second floor.wisdom said:This is an outdoor kitchen.

FYI, they also make a 22.5 degree elbow if needed.wisdom said:This is an outdoor kitchen. Just installed new granite counter tops and the sink is a different size and located in a different spot. The sink is rarely actually used, so, no emergency situation here.Och26-58-87 said:
