Please help! I had a new kitchen sink installed along with my new counter tops. I was too cheap to pay a plumber to hook it up. However the new configuration is a problem and I have been working on it for two days without solving it.
I installed the new garbage disposal under the right sink drain and ran it to the left sink pipes. This is the same as the configuation of the previous sink.
The problem is that the new left sink drain pipes are too close to the pipe that takes the discharge out through the back wall. So the pipes coming down from the left sink drain very very close to the pipe attached to the pipe in the back wall. The two pipes are virtually side by side (about two inches apart.)
I have sawed off the fitting to shortened the pipe coming out of the wall twice and am afraid to make that wall pipe any shorter.
How can I attach the two vertical pipes or reconfigure the whole thing to make the necessary connections?
I attach two pictures. Please note the discharge pipe going into the back wall.
