I am installing a garbage disposal (1/2 hp, Insinkerator Badger 5) under a double-sink. I would like some help determining how to plumb the sinks/dispoal (no dishwasher). I have a picture if someone offers to help off-line.
Right now, the discharge hole/port from the disposal would line up with the horizontal pipe that leads to a t-coupling (conntecting the drains from the two sinks), then down to a p trap and up to the waste pipe. Ideally, I'd be able to just cut that horizontal pipe (meaning, cut a new horizontal pipe) and connect it without making any vertical changes in the piping (I've probalby lost you by now). But, the instructions say I should have separate drain traps for each side. And, the disposal comes with a "discharge tube" that comes out and goes 90 degrees south. If I had to put on that discharge tube, it means a lot more re-configuration, as I'd have to either have those separate traps leading to the waste pipe. And, I wouldn't even know how to set that up.
Anyhow, that's enough rambline b/c I'll only confuse us more. Is anyone aware of some basic double sink garbage disposal installation instructions? Can anyone help out with my specific situation? Drawings?
Your assistance is much appreciated.
