I have been reading the posts on this site for many years and have found the discussions not only educational but entertaining. I'm changing my single sink to a double sink vanity. I've done my research and Figure 3 is what I think I need to do for a properly draining, non-smelling bathroom based on a modified Terry Love design. This will all be buried in a non-load bearing wall of a 8 year old house. Have I used the right combination of ABS tee and wye fittings for the job?
At first I was going to use a double wye but I'm afraid of making a "S" trap situation. Secondly, I have no room for a cleanout in or under the vanity.
This illustration represents the current lavatory / vanity set up.
Figure 1 This is the current set-up as performed by a licensed plumber.
Figure 2
Is going to 1 1/2" pipe for the left tee going to create problems?
Figure 3
I think that this is my best option. I think the 3" tee is going to drain better, help prevent clogs and be a better vent.
Providing that you find no faults and approve of my plan... I ask if the extra 3" drain run going to perform it's function better than going to 1 1/2" as in Figure 2 or will I just be throwing my money down the drain? What do you think?
Thank you and cheers.
