Hello I am new to plumbing. Detached my garbage disposal and have correct pvc pipes, and strainer per two Lowes and two Home Depots in my area. I'm looking for an accurate picture of how to attach all pvc pipes, Watched multiple youtube videos. Understand I may need to use my hacksaw to adjust pvc pipes to connect dishwasher attachments and all pipes correctly. Trying to focus with my add. Thanks in advance.

If your drain is not in the center, simply put your tee on the tailpiece nearest the drain and run the branch connection to the other tail piece.

hard to say anything not knowing what you have gathered together for parts
basically you need a kitchen strainer that goes into the hole in the sink.
from there you need a dishwasher tailpiece to attach to the strainer at the top and dishwasher drain hose attaches to the side.
now, depending on the height of the stub sticking out of the wall, you either attach a p-trap or you need an extension between the trap and tailpiece.
the p-trap now connects to the pipe sticking out of the wall by using a trap adapter.

I like this layout better
Pls post pic of your drain pipe under sink
Loren idea is what i like best instead of central T
Beware many videos and pics on internet show all kinds of improper traps layout
Do not use flex pipe
When cutting tailpieces smooth out the cut end.
After complete post pic here for plumbers to congratulate you. (Or critize)
