Kitchen sink drain pipe issues

[Alexandria Farmer]

Converting to a single drain sink. But now the garbage disposal doesn’t fit. Recommendations? I don’t want to move entire drain pip. Should I add an attachment that would curve the drain pipes left?

Any Pics? Assuming that the wall drain is directly behind the disposal, placing a 45 degree elbow at the wall can be used. Just try not to use any flex pipe.

Sometimes we add a 45 from the wall if needed.

So added a 45 to wall. Any tips or best practice recommendations how to remove?

Not at all what I had pictured.

How about a photo from about 12 inches above the hole in the bottom of the sink, looking straight down.

Cut the base of the double wye. Use an 1 1/2" socket saver bit to drill the pipe out of the fitting in the wall. Rebuild as necessary from there.

Bout to head to store to get a 45, when I hold up part of the old piece that was a 45 it looks like it might not be sharp enough. I was going to get both a 90 and 45 and see which will be best.

Is a 90 not recommended?

You should never need a 90 under a sink like that. If you're putting a tubular "bag" trap with the compression fittings in there, you've got plenty of play to make any other adjustments to make it all fit.

Eyeball it once you have all the parts to make sure it'll work, but you should be good.

What is this dimension? If it is not more than 6 inches to the top of the PVC, it needs some more thought and careful measurements. If less than 5-1/4, it might require entering the wall

This is what you need to do. This is my kitchen sink with the sink drain in the center. When I had the kitchen remodeled, I did all the plumbing so it was easy with an open wall. Previously, I had the same setup as your situation.
