I've heard that with certain drain configurations (i.e. that are close to the wall or high near the sink, that you can't use the pop-up drain assembly. Is there any way around this, while still keeping the pipes away from a seated individual's shins?

Note, although my sink selections are for sinks with back-set drains, they're also sinks with side or rear overflow drains so that the sinks can be installed as close to the front edge of the countertop as possible.

Thoughts especially on the pop-up, but also any general comments re:"hp" configuration are welcome

There was a recent thread on this... within the last few months, anyways. Someone had a sink where they didn't want the trap to show underneath... I'll see if i can find it.

I have to admit, near as i can recall, most of us had no clue where to get parts for an accessible set-up.
