Good Evening,
I'm in the midst of a kitchen gut/reno, and am at the point where I can open up the walls if need be to address any plumbing issues. . Originally, there was a double-bowl sink with an ISE disposal on the right side, with a suspiciously installed Ptrap on the left.
Oh - about the DW supply line, the shutoff was uber-seized, so I just fed the line back onto the supply so the Minister of Household-Goings-On would still have water in the meantime
I'm at the point where the cabinets are gone, and I'm about to tear the subfloor right down to the joists. I can also open up the wall behind the cabinets-to-be and make any required changes as I go. The new cabinet going in will be a 33" sink base with a new 30x18x10 single bowl undermount in the same position centered under the window. I was reading through the forums and noted that the usual height for the lines are in or around 16" from the finished floor height because of the trend towards deeper sinks (I'm going to be ~36" high with countertop). I took a quick measurement and found my lines sitting around 17", so I was planning just to cut off the old valves and extend the 1/2in copper lines an extra 5" plus caps until the cabinets arrive.
Then I got to thinking about the drain - since I am going from double bowl to single, 10" deep undermount with the drain offset towards the rear. Would it be necessary for me to change the existing 1 1/2" drain location and install? We intend to either reinstall the old trusty ISE 77 or replace with an Insinkerator Evolution of some variety. I'm just concerned that the drain or lines might be in the wrong locations for me to hookup everything once the sink and cabs go in......I'll post some specs on the sink in a follow up post (due to picture limits)
Any suggestions or advice in this regard is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
