 New kitchen location
Author: mythago (FL)

Hello again -
Another project we are working on is a new kitchen, in a new room addition. The existing kitchen is on the south side of the house, and the new room addition will be on the west side (house faces east, toward the street)... moving supply lines shouldn't be a problem as we replumbed with CPVC through the walls and between the floors a few years ago after a couple of slab leaks (concrete slab construction, 1989)... my question is about the drain for the new kitchen...
The new kitchen will be on the back of the house... the drain lines are all below grade, tying in to the city sewer system somewhere in the street in front of the house...
What considerations will I have when tying the drain for the new kitchen into the exiting house drains? I know it's apt to be a major deal...
Thanks!

drain lines are run with adequate slope. fewest changes of direction as possible and accessable cleanout/s as required.

So, as long as they can maintain a downslope toward the street, it shouldn't be a big engineering problem or require any kind of pump?
Thanks!

First you have to find a drain line you can connect to, and it has to be the proper distance BELOW the new sink line to give adequate slope.
