I recently purchased a new bathroom sink with 1 1/4" pop up drain. I planned on replacing the pvc p-trap with a chrome p-trap, but have come across a problem.
The dishwasher is located on the other side of the wall from the bathroom sink. The previous owner had the dishwasher drain hose connected to the bathroom sink p-trap via a tailpiece in the drain pipe. I threw away the pvc pipe that was there before taking a close look at how exactly it was done.
My problem is that there does not seem to be 1 1/4" chrome pipe with a tailpiece fitting for a dishwasher hose. This is only sold in the 1 1/2" chrome pipe, which I think is used for kitchen sinks. I was told that you cannot connect a dishwasher drain to a 1 1/4" bathroom sink drain.
My questions are, is it correct that the dishwasher drain should never be connected to a bathroom sink drain? If so, do I have any options to correct this? Unfortunately the kitchen is set up so that the kitchen sink is about 10 feet away from the dishwasher.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
