A 1-3/8 copper pipe will fit a 1-1/4” compression type trap adapter.
Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Started building the pool enclosure for the kids.
Wife was a bit surprised how big it was and how much of her garden is gonna be hidden…

It looks nice.
You're starting to run out of lawn with two sheds, gazebo, trampoline, playhouse and pool.

That would be pretty cool…sadly not in the cards.
Just means less mowing!
Can’t put it too close to the flowers because then they won’t get watered.
Conditions from every angle.
It’s not pretty up close…but it works.
Googled that and I'm still confused by what you mean. Got a pic?
What! No underground parking?

Option 1 - trap adapter connector. This is a trap adapter. The side with the nut and gasket slides over your copper trap arm, the other glues into your ptrap. It needs a short length of 1-1/4 abs to couple to the ptrap as both the ptrap and trap adapter are female (you could get lucky and find a male style at a local Emco or Wolsley hi plumbing supply). Take your copper stub out to the store to test fit as there may be slight variations in the compression ring by manufacturer.
Option 2. This is a bit ugly, but it’s common. The connected is a 1/1-4 Fernco, and in one side, copper in the other abs. Simple gear clamp, it’s code compliant.
Thanks. Option one doesn't work since I'm running chromed brass trap and drain. #2 could work but again ugly and very visible. Plumber where I picked up the copper pipe said he would just sand off the chrome and sweat them together, which is what I was thinking of doing anyway.
Of course now we go another day w/o the a bathroom sink because I can't get a deep 1 1/4" escutheon plate to cover this in town. Headed to London tomorrow any way but.....

Ok, that’s a different setup. Brass(chromed) traps come with a trap arm that goes directly to the drain connection in the wall. Not easy, but you can use a belt sander to sander to remove chrome on the ptrap arm then sweat it in.
If you have room, solder with everything hooked up. Brass has no give, so even a slight alignment of the trap arm will make assembly tough.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy for that procedure. When I’m sweating in tight flammable spots, I pack the area loosely with tin foil to block flames and dissipate heat.
Installed the flimsy gate…not the greatest but it’ll do the trick.
Unfortunately I also ran out of wood and fence panels…
So back to HD tomorrow for some cheap deck boards or anything to finish up the fence.

Use a couple of your live edge slabs (left long so they are like passing between two mountains) as a feature.
Thought about it. But that’s a lot of cutting for not much return.
Thinking 8 1x6 deck boards cut to size should do the trick.
That or a 4x8 lattice sheet cut to size or just some stupid plywood cut into strips.
