I am remodeling a kitchen and will be taking an existing L-shaped peninsula and making it into a straight peninsula. The drain is run in a pony wall behind the sink. Attached is a picture of a pony wall when the house was built in 2005. Pony wall will be demolished, cabinets removed, a new pony wall built and new cabinets. The existing sink is a dual bowl 7.5" deep. This will be replaced with a single 10" deep sink with the drain on the right side of the sink. I have some questions:
1) The drain for the sink comes in horizontally, so lowering the drain will be very difficult. The existing drain is 16" from the floor. I read Terry usually sets his drain at 16" from the floor to accommodate 10" bowls. With the new 10" deep sink, if I keep the drain at 16", I believe the disposal drain will be ~ 1.5" above the wall drain which should be okay. Are there any things I should consider (disposal type, sink flange, etc) to ensure the disposal drain stays higher than the wall drain?
2) The existing plumbing under the sink (see attached photo) is 2" except for the last connection to sink and disposal which are 1.5". No trap adapter fitting. For the remodel this all gets ripped out. I am thinking of reducing the 2" to 1.5" immediately where it enters the cabinet and use a 1.5" trap adapter fitting. Does this sounds reasonable?
3) In terms of floor planning...the sink is a single bowl with the drain on the right side. When I rough in the drain, where is the best place to locate the drain in the pony wall? I can rough it in to come in the cabinet in middle, left or right. Seems like the right would be bad due to disposal and sink drain being on that side.
