Scenario
In a kitchen remodel, and discovered a complication. The builder ran a 1-1/2" drain pipe behind the base base cabinets along the wall. Unfortunately, where the horizontal drain line is, to the left of the sink, the wife wants pull-out trash bins. Said bins will interfere with the drain line. The wall itself is a 2x4 exterior wall, so routing the plumbing inside the wall - through studs - isn't feasible.
Routing Question
I'd like to route the drain pipe down, then along the floor (so below the base cabinets - and hidden by toe kick), and back up again through the bottom of the sink base cabinet. I tried my best to indicate with the red lines how I'd like to do this. Essentially it creates a double trap. Is this a legitimate method to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Pipe Selection Question
The pipe shown in the picture, as well as the vertical (in the wall) are 1-1/2" ABS. As I turn down from the wall, should I open it up to 2" pipe to help the water drain better due to less drag? Or does the 1-1/2" bottleneck at the vertical negate that logic?
