I will soon be putting in a new kitchen sink & faucet. By my quick measurements, the garbage disposal will need to move about 2 1/2 inches to the right and 2 inches outward. My issue is, the P trap for the disposer is glued PVC which leads directly to a double wye with no straight pipe to connect to once I cut off the trap.
My thought is to cut it off at the wye and use a Pasco ram bit to remove the pipe from the fitting. Then, cement in a threaded fitting and install a P trap with compression fittings, which will give me some adjustability.
(I've heard of garbage disposal installations with a straight pipe over to the sink drain line before the trap, but I suspect it's a local code issue here, all the installations I have seen have a separate p trap for the disposer.)
Is there an easier way to do this, am I on the right track? Any problems with using a PVC trap w/ compression fittings on a disposer?
Here it is as it sits now:
