Kitchen Plumbing Drain Issue?
We just installed a Garbage Disposal with a Double Bowl End Outlet drain setup. Everything drained fine intially, when we used the disposal the water won’t drain. I took the pipes apart and there was no clogage issues. Its seems its not getting enough pressure to drain? Any thoughts?
The plastic piece was removed during installation.
take out the disposal and look down the discharge hole. there is acutually a plastic plug that needs to be knocked out I have no idea why the manufacturers do this but they do. knock this out and it will drain normally. good luck
do you have a vent ,mechanical vents available
There is a discharge outlet on your disposal that your inch and a half tubing is connected to. If you have water not draining, only on the disposal side, then your problem is between your disposal and the tee on your inch and a half tubing. Check the tee that’s where it usually gets clogged. If both sides of the kitchen sink fill up then you have a problem after the tee somewhere down the line. There should also be a small pipe that is usually just above your disposal discharge. This is used only if you have a dishwasher. This inlet comes with a plug inside and should only be punched out ONLY if you have a dishwasher connected.
