Hi,
I installed a new sink about 18 months ago and it was a deeper basin than the old sink. This lowered the level of the garbage disposal and I'm not sure how to proceed.
This is a picture of the pipes under the sink.
As you can see, There is a gap between the connections in the p trap. The right part of the "J" connection is fully seated on the outlet to the garbage disposal and I need another 2.5 inches to make it work.
For the past 18 months the "J" connection was actually flipped around and installed incorrectly and somehow I got it to work. The time has come that the short end of the J piece won't grab the outlet to the disposal tight enough to not leak and I'm not sure how to get it fixed?
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can bridge that gap?
Thanks,
Frank
