re: 3 bay sink (again). I thought I had this all worked out but I discovered I don't have a wide enough air gap.
I have 3-bay sink with a 1.5" drain. The requirements for the sink is that it needs an air-gapped drain.
If I run a 1.5" p-trap following the air-gap, can I expect that the drain would keep up with the drainage flow?
My original plan was to upsize the plumbing following the air-gap to 2". My method of air-gap is to use a 4x2 reducing coupling (as seen in pic). The developed length is 10'.
The problem is that I cannot get the required air-gap (3" - 2x drain pipe size).
The routing is: from the sink, drop into the air-gap with p-trap (directly next to sink), then follow the wall above the foundation, around the corner (two 45° elbows), under the electrical conduit body, into the riser (next to laundry sink).
TIA
