I have been hating my undermount dual compartment stainless sink for 8 years since I installed it. I have recently bought a big Kohler Vault sink. Its a drop in single compartment with the micro edge.
So now I know more about home improvement than I did when I bought this house. Thanks to the Internet. And I'm going to buy a new disposal since the Badger 5 isn't leaking yet, but is rusty. and I'm looking under the sink and I can't figure out why there are two drain in the wall under the sink.???
I'd like to attempt the plumbing of the new drain and disposal, but I'm not sure which drain to use? One is higher than the other.
Is one for the dishwasher? Do I need to add a p trap if I use that drain for the dishwasher? What about a air gap? I'm in Florida and you never see them here.
Is there any advantage to the dishwasher drain going into the disposal? I'm thinking the disposal could collect and chew up any food particles in the dishwasher?
I can post a picture, but its not that complicated. Seems when the house was built in the early 80's, a dishwasher was expected because I have 4 angle valves under the sink. So is that what the second drain is for?
Any tips or location of diagram on how to do it correctly will be appreciated
