hello! i am trying to install shampoo sinks for salon usage. the space i have has previous plumbing hook ups for a sink, and the sinks i have are backwash shampoo bowls, already equipped with vaccuum breakers.
My 2 main concerns are that i want to install 2 sinks, so what do i need to sucessfully split them? The backwash sinks have the flexible pipes (<?? correct terms) for the hot and cold water, and they have like... a short acordian tube for the drain. So i need to know how to split the water source correctly and as simply as possible, and how to split the drainage and I guess i have a 3rd concern that the draining works properly - because where the current drain is sits slightly higher up that where the sinks' drain pipes seem to go down, is there a way to fix that without totally changing the pipes in the wall?
please help. totally the most novice of "plumbers" here, but I would like to have functional shampoo sinks if i can without bringing in a plumber (at least to hold me over until i can afford one to do a total make over of the installation)
thanks so much!!!

if you can post a couple of photo's, then some inteligent advice can be given. other wise it is just add tees to the water supply and a "Y" to the drain.
are you getting permits for this? it will then have to conform to local codes.
you just don't stick in 2 sinks and say, "i'm open for business"....
