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. The problem is the amount of water in the lines (painted as blue in the picture). I'm wondering if I shorten the red drain line, would that reduce the amount of standing water in the lines? Ideally, I'd like to just have water in the trap area. Also, if I shorten the red drain pipe, I'd be able to do a direct feed from the disposal (depicted by green line).
Am I thinking along the right lines?
Any advice is appreciated!!
