Help with non-standard Kitchen sink trap

[jcoleman3307]

Hi,

I recently replaced my kitchen sink (was a dual basin, now single) and am stuck on the best way to install the drain pipe. The outlet from the disposal is at an awkward distance from the wall drain pipe such that none of the standard traps seem to fit. I've tried a few. As a temporary measure, I installed the plumbing with a flexible trap piece but it seems flimsy and seems like gunk will get stuck in the crevices. Here's what it looks like now:

Can someone provide advice on a better way to set this up?

Please let me know if I can provide more info that would help.

This is going to be a fairly easy fix.

I think you want to use a straight discharge tube, instead of the black curved discharge tube. Often a disposal install kit will include one.

So the waste goes over to the area of the trap adapter. You can then not use the flex stuff. You will have something like this, which you will cut and swivel to fit your need.

Another option would be to cut your curved discharge tube to give you the right height, such as this but with the discharged tube cut even shorter:

Success! I couldn't find the all the parts a la carte at home depot, just in a big garbage disposal kit for a dual sink. But it works!

Thanks much for the advice @Reach4!
