Re: Kitchen sink drain question
Author: lance_t_a (WA) IN order to accomplish the install, I need to remove all the plumbing because it is all glued together with no mechanical joints. When I am reinstalling the plumbing, do I reinstall it in the same fashion seen in the photo? I only ask because the current set-up looks kind of "ghetto" if you will... Edited 1 times.

Author: packy (MA) you could eliminate the trap on the left. install a sanitary tee into the riser on the right side trap and elbow the left sink bowl into it. that all looks normal to me.. also, the dishwasher hose should be looped up high and then attached to the tailpiece.

Author: hj (AZ) If the drain on the left is NOT leaking, it should because of the weird angle it is coming down. Edited 1 times.

Thanks for the help!
Author: lance_t_a (WA) Thanks for the help! I think we are switching to a single sink as well, so that should make the reinstall a little easier. Also, is that drain pipe on the right the vent? Edited 1 times.
