Mostly curiosity. This system is already in place and it works under a fairly heavy spring rain. I have yet to see it in one of those 50 year rains that happen every five years now. I know it will work as well as a 123' run at .5%. But, does that first 65' running down hill at 2.5% provide a...

I have a backyard storm drain system that runs from a catch basin at the back of the yard to a storm drain manhole in the street with the following: Total length - 188 feet Pipe and size - 8" PVC SDR 26 Pitch or slope - 2.5% for the first 65 feet starting at the back yard catch basin, and the...

Now I see why you wanted a picture. I don't think this will save much vertical distance if any. Reason being that it would take two additional 90 turns. First would be a 90 waste pipe coming off the sinks drain basket that would feed into the DW tailpiece fitting which is now running...

I solved my recent post regarding kitchen sink depth vs drain height, but barely. In my case, I had a dishwasher fitting above the p-trap, which used up about 4" in height. What if.... you have a 90 elbow coming off the drain basket and a short pipe leading into the dishwasher T and then into...

Cabinets all ready delivered. It's my daughters condo, and I don't get down there to often. Was doing some painting this weekend when I discovered the problem. One last question: Would a shallower under mount sink, like an 8"deep, work?

thanks. I don't think that sink will fit. In fact, It might be tough for any under mount sink. A drain basket plus the threaded end, tailpiece and p-trap will be about 8" and I only have 4 1/2. Also,this is going into a high rise condo with no possibility of opening the wall and lowering the...

One more figure on that. Since the bottom of the counter top is 34 1/2", it makes the center of the drain 20" off the floor. Again, no dsposal, but a connection for the dishwasher drain. Will it fit?

The center point of the horizontal drain pipe that exits thru the back wall is 14 1/2" below the bottom of the counter top. Can I use a 10" deep single drain undermount sink? No disposal, but will need fitting to drain dishwasher
