Hello - I am going to attempt to install a new kitchen sink. I have very little plumbing experience (installed facuets, etc). The sink I am installing is about 2.5" inches deeper than old sink and the drains are offset in a different location.
A picture is attached of the current plumbing with the old sink removed.
I have 2 questions.
1. There is what I have found out to be an inline vent/valve under the sink. This valve is too tall for the sink. Can I safely shorten this pipe and re-attach the valve? Is there a minimum height requirement?
2. The right-hand side of sink is where I'm having trouble figuring out how to position the drian pipe so that it will line up with the new sink. I have tried to swivel it around the trap, but I don't think it will line up. Can you pleae offer some suggestions as to how I can reconfigure this side?
Again, I am very inexperienced in plumbing and I appreciate any help.
Thanks
J
