Hi all. I am currently remodeling our kitchen. Our kitchen sink sits in the middle of the room, so the drain does not run through the wall. In the picture attached, you will see what my drain set-up looks like.
The new sink I purchased is a rectangle and the bottom of the sink runs into the drain line, so I cannot fit the sink into the space. I need about 5-6 inches to make it work. My plan is to cut the drain pipes and make them shorter. I talked to a friend who builds houses and he said the reason they made it so high was so that it could "breathe". He said the rule of thumb for middle of the room sinks is that the drain lines need to be higher than the bottom of the sink.
My question is, if I cut the pipes 5 inches so they sit under the bottom of the sink, will that be an issue? Thanks a lot.
