Hi All,
I have an old cast iron farmhouse sink that aside from being strong and useful, is way too big. I had acquired a stainless steel double basin sink which is much more workable and was working on installing.
I am trying to work w/ existing plumbing and had some questions. The existing setup is dead wrong and I am trying to take it one step at a time. The washer empties into the waste pipe of an old kitchen sink (since removed) directly into the sewer pipe, and has no trap. I understand the "santee on it's back" that it's built on top of is wrong, and will correct that down the line.
For now I'm trying to replicate this pic, which I think will be fairly straightforward, and top the vent w/ an AAV. The trouble is that the santee that the old sink emptied into is pretty high off the ground in relation to the current sink. Can the sink drain level be at or only slightly above the trap arm? (obviously it will back up if it's lower). Either way I'll probably have to mount the sink up a little higher, but any higher and it will be too high to use.
The other question in this setup is that can this contraption take a horizontal 90 before it empties into the sewer pipe?
Many more questions but I'll take it a few at a time
Thanks!
