Hi,
My issue is that I installed a new sink that is deeper than the previous sink, where my output pipe from the garbage disposal is slightly lower (almost an inch) than the drain out thru the wall.
I tried to add an extension between the drain out and the J-pipe connection, but had a single leak at the point where I hacksawed the extension pipe to get it right at where the J-pipe connected to it. I've never messed with plumbing before, but I'm thinking you can't just add a movable washer to the end of a sawed off pipe for the tip of the J-pipe connection.
I've only gone to Home Depot for parts, so I'm hoping that maybe a specialty plumbing store will have an expanded parts section.
My exact measurements with this problem are:
- drain out to floor distance: 16 & 1/2 inches
- garbage disposal output to floor distance: 15 & 1/4 inches
- drain out to garbage disposal output distance: ~6 inches
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Jim
