I do not know much if anything about plumbing so bare with me please.
So I am remodeling my kitchen and I'm on my last step. All of my cabinets are in. Moving the drain pipe is not really an option as the piping is in stucco/cinderblock and has an elbow that runs about 35" or more horizontally, so it would be a disaster.
Here's the situation. I have a single basin undermount kitchen sink. The distance from the sink drain to the centerline of my in-wall vent drain is exactly 7". I currently own an insinkerator compact disposal, where according to manufacturer specifications, the distance between the sink drain and the centerline of the disposal discharge arm is 6". Instead of using a 90 degree arm from the disposal I would want to use a horizontal straight pipe to have the disposal discharge arm 1" higher than the in wall drain vent.
My dishwasher is directly to the right of my sink cabinet.
Below is my empty setup (sorry for picture quality).
I am having a plumber come on Wednesday to install everything, can I get away with the disposal being 1" higher than the main drain, as technically water wouldn't have to travel upwards.
If not, does anyone know of a disposal that has a smaller distance than 6" to the discharge arm? I looked all over and did not see any.
