Hi all. Hope someone can help me with this bathroom remodel.
- Converting a single vanity to a double vanity.
- The problem is that the new vanity has drawers in the middle (between both sinks) and cannot connect two "P traps" underneath.
- So looks like I need to change the plumbing in the wall. A pic of the existing pluming is attached.
- I was thinking about doing the following:
- Putting in a T to the left of the existing drain
- Cutting pipe and inserting 1 1/2 pvc to the right of the T
- And then putting in an elbow to the right of the existing drain.
- This would then give me two drains to connect two "P traps" to.
- Existing drain would obviously be eliminated by putting in the T, the 1 1/2" pipe and new elbow.
So will with work? Or are there other considerations and/or concerns? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Additional info:
- Current plumbing is 1 1/2" pvc with one drain.
- Vanity is 5' long. The distance between the sinks is 33" on center.
- Local plumbing code is based on "2006 National Standard Plumbing Code" but its all greek to me here's the link http://phcc.files.cms-plus.com/Depts/Technical/2006NSPCNonIllustratedWeb.pdf
