I installed new kitchen floor cabinets with a granite countertop and Kohler double bowl sink. The sink has 9 inch deep bowls and I knew going in that there might be a problem with the plumbing. The house was built in 1942 for the sinks available then. The cast iron stack and its two "T" fittings were installed for 1942 conventions.
Because of the depth of the sink bowls, it was a real chore to get all the pipes to fit. I had to cut the chrome tailpieces and waste arms but I was able to get a water tight system. I must have damaged the left basket because I couldn't stop a small drip if I filled the left bowl with water and then pulled out the strainer. I had to seal the tailpiece and nut with GE Silicone II. The basket is a Kohler Duostrainer Polished Brass unit and is expensive.
I want to know if the water level should ever be at the "T" where the two waste arms connect to it. Is this a code violation?
Thank you
