This is my current sink/disposal drain set-up. It drains OK and there are no functional problems, but I'd like to do it better. I suspect the trap isn't to code because of the transition from plastic tubular to the larger PVC and then back to the plastic again. I also don't like the center tee arrangement and would rather have an end waste tee. For the trap, a regular plastic p-trap won't work because of the height of the drain.
The drain is exactly 1-1/8" lower than the disposal outlet.
I am considering the following options:
1. Get rid of the disposal (but my wife likes it).
2. Cut the trap adapter off of the drain, use a 1-1/2" PVC coupler and a PVC 90 connected to a PVC p-trap. I kind of like this idea. It would fit, and would have about a 3" seal depth.
3. Use a regular plastic p-trap like a Keeney 400PVCK, reversed so it will fit. The seal depth would be about 4", maybe slightly more.
4. Lower the drain and use the usual plastic drain parts.
Suggestions, comments, rants?
