    Kitchen drain adjustments to reduce water

    Thanks again to all that offered advice on this job - especially Redwood! Here is a pic of the final outcome - it's all secure, sealed, and dry! :) The vent wasn't too difficult to add either. I'm in Indiana - I don't think there is a problem with having the vent if I understand the plumbing...

    Kitchen drain adjustments to reduce water

    Kitchen drain adjustments to reduce water

    Hi all - New to the forum and looking for some advice. I've replaced the kitchen sink and installed a new garbage disposal. I now need to reroute the drain lines to accomodate the different heights (sinks are deeper than previous, disposal is larger). My current setup is in the photo...
