Hello all,
A bit new to the DIY world, but I have a question on my viable options for completing this plumbing option. The cabinet in the sink I purchased is higher than I thought. Being so, I can't install a p-trap in the usual way. My drain in the wall is too close to the height of the cabinet for clearance. So I was thinking, if I could put two elbows to from the wall drain, effectively raising the drain up about 2 inches, then I could have the clearance for my p-trap. Physically speaking, I don't see this as an issue since there will still be a net downward direction in flow, however I'm not sure if this would somehow create problems or in the worse case, illegal. Thank you very much for any insight you can share.
