Hi,
I'm nearing the end of a kitchen renovation; sink & countertops installed this morning. After everything cured, I started reconnecting p-traps & such but I've run into a problem. With the locations of my new sink's drains, I cannot fit my garbage disposer into place as I'm being blocked by the first part of the P trap.
I'll elaborate on my fittings. Out of the wall I have a Y with a cleanout. Out of each side of the Y I have slip joint that goes to a 2-piece (an elbow with a long slide into the Y and J joint) p-trap with slip joints; all 1-1/2" fittings. But the piece that mates with they Y's slip is obstructing the disposer under the sink drain. I tried replacing part of the p-trap with a tight elbow into the Y but the disposer is still being obstructed by a good bit by the elbow.
Any ideas how to MacGuyver through this one? The only other idea I've had in my head is figure out how to cap the left side of the Y, and instead go through the cleanout, but I would need some help narrowing in on fittings if that's the best way to go. Bonus points if the solution can be solved with fittings regularly found at Home Depot or Menards.
All help that saves me a $300 service call is greatly appreciated!!!
