Have a poor situation with the existing setup in our new (to us) house. When the disposal, (which is currently installed on the left (larger) bowl of the double-bowl sink) is turned on when the sink has water in it, debris and water shoot out of the right hand sink, unless the drain plug basket is in place.
When the disposal/bowl is not full of water, normal operation is seen, and no water or debris enters the second bowl.
The rough-in is at 12.5" on center and the disposal outlet arm is at 13.5" under this current setup.
However, apparently due to the rough-in being at the FAR right side of the sink cabinet, there appears to be some extra length and bends in the trap, which I suspect may be causing this issue.
[Pics attached]
What I would like to do is move the disposal to the smaller bowl, and rework the plumbing so that it will work properly.
However, due to the love affair with ABS and glue that was used here, I'm not sure how to actually remove this in a way to enable a proper reconnection.
Should I cut the ABS off at the wall, and glue in a threaded fitting so that I can attach whatever to it?
Thanks,
