Installing a new sink and garbage disposal. Discharge pipe downstream of the trap looks like its gonna be higher than the discharge line from the garbage disposal. Is this a problem (sitting water staying in my disposal) or will the water flow through the trap and not stay backed up in the garbage disposal. Sorry, no MS Paint. |
| Higher? look for a higher discharged disposal. There have been a few times where I've had to change to different disposal than what I wanted due to that. Equal height is remedied with a straight discharge pipe as opposed to a 90 degree discharge. The only other way is to lower the opening which sometimes isn't so bad and sometimes is a bitch. |
| If I understand correctly- yes it will. My discharge is below both disposer and dishwasher discharge. Seems like that's an awfully high final exit after the trap. not a pro though and going thru the same re-work as we speak. I don't have an official air-break/gap for dishwasher but use a high loop. |
