Adding garburator and correcting plumbing problem

Jechow · Dec 13, 2009

I'm going to replace my 1/2 hp garburator with a larger garburator. I was looking under my sink when I discovered the previous owner had installed their plumbing incorrect. The T-connector is going up instead of down (refer to photos). All of the connections are glued except for the one attached to the sink and the garburator.

How do I fix this? Where do I start hacksawing? Thanks

Show I also add any cleanouts?

If it were me I'd hack the ABS off just above the p-trap and re-build it.

I like to add cleanouts after the p-trap using a wye, 45, and a fitting cleanout fitting. This way if you ever have to snake the line you can run water at the same time!

All the abs looks like wrong glue was used.

I would hack it off AFTER the "P" trap and start over from scratch. And I would do it in a way that would give a lot more room inside the cabinet.

What would be the best way to get "a lot more room inside the cabinet"?

Thanks
