Hi,
This is a fantastic forum, I have learned a lot over the years.
Today finds me remodeling my kitchen. It is more or less cleaned up at this moment. We are shopping for a new sink and I would like to get a 9 or 10" deep one. The garbage disposal (insinkerator evo premier), is going to have the outlet around 16-17 inches from the floor with the 10 inch sink.
Of course, this is a problem because the rough-in for the drain is 18" on-center (Terry puts it at 16" these days). I opened up the wall to see what was going on back there, and found two king studs in the way. One of them is three-wide, they are already braced around the existing cutout for the drain.
I need to move the drain lower, but the king studs present an obvious problem. Routing the drain in front of the wall would normally be okay, but the dishwasher is going to be there and I think a pipe behind it would cause an obstruction.
Routing the pipe out the back of this wall is not really an option, and probably not worth the effort to build out an entire wall.
Is there any solution I have missed? I'm just going to stick with a 7.5" sink if there is no easy way around this..
Thanks a bunch
