Hello Folks,
I've lurked here tons! I've found about everything I've needed for about 2 years. And now I just can't seem to find what I'm looking for, so I'm stepping from the shadows to ask a question. Here goes:
Kitchen is getting redone. My current sink drain has a 10" drop distance to a 90degree horizontal run. That run is parallel to the back wall the sink is mounted to. It runs about 16" to a 90degree bend down into the basement where the trap is located. The horizontal run from the trap runs about 8' to the waste stack. All of these pipes are in a common plane all the way to the stack. First there is a problem with the vertical distance from the drain to the trap. more than 24" and there are two 90 bends in between.
Not sure why it was plumbed this way. The horizontal run under the sink before the downward turn to the trap in the basement seems to only solve that the pipe would've run thru the wall that separates the garage from the basement. Doesn't seem like a big deal?
Any way, if I were to put the trap under the sink then turn down immediately after the trap, would that create like an "s" trap, which from what I understand, isn't a great thing. Or is it ok to go straight down after the trap?
Thanks in advance!
