If you had looked at the picture of her installation, you would have noticed that a standard trap does not fit.
A reverse trap will, and the Dearborn is the best of the lot. I pick mine up at Pacific.
Is the homeowner going to be able to find that trap? Maybe...............
Is it working now with too much trap seal?...................Been working. If I were doing the job, yes I would install the reversing trap, or open the wall and drop the drain in the wall.
And how much would you charge for that? and do you think that would be a doable job for here considering it's all steel piping in the wall.
And...............did you even look at he pictures she posted?
Terry-
Sorry if my reply was unclear.
What did you mean when you said: "eliminate the extra piece"? This confused me.
Yes, the Dearborn looks pretty nice, better for reversing than most plastic ones.
Yes, disposal works with the reverse trap. I too, drop the RI in the wall or reverse the trap (with disclaimer). With the not so deluxe trap, reversing is less desirable, although I do use silicone SJ washers.
Lowering the galvy RI - 400-500 clams, no wall repair and extra travel to Illinois. Doable, for sure.
Yes, I looked at the pictures pretty hard.
