iSelfBuild Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would rather of had the main bowl pipe coming straight down but there was no room in the cupboard for the dishwasher joint on the right hand side so I swapped it. Does this look alright before I solvent weld bits up? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 looks alright to me, but a plumber will be along shortly to advise properly. The next electrician who wants to take that socket front off will swear at you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchen is nearly finished now, so is my house. Only taken 20 months to renovate fully >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'd bin the single trap that came with the sink and put independent traps on both the full and half sink, you can then link the dishwasher in where you need to. Those horizontal runs have a nasty habit of growing smelly gunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triassic Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Looks ok to me, just make sure the horizontal is tipping down to the trap so any liquid isn't sat in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those horizontal runs have a nasty habit of growing smelly gunge. Yup. One combination trap to take the appliance, and one regular. The appliance connector on that one will allow all the noise from the discharging water to be audible from the sink waste, a bit like a loudspeaker. Make the waste pipework for the main bowl first, dry, no glue. Take the pipe immediately horizontal back to the rear of the unit, and then down to the outgoing water pipe, flat back against the rear of the unit to save space. Then cut a Y branch in on the vertical drop to accept the 1/2 bowl. Plumb that accordingly to avoid the socket. Having it plumbed this way will see the waste water from the main bowl leaving nothing behind, and generating far less noise from the appliance connection. You will still hear it unless you go for two standard traps and one of these fitted into a compression tee on the vertical drop, just before it exits the back of the unit to outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Our current arrangement is like this, and it makes a hell of a racket when the dishwasher drains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvinmiddle Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Not sure how I did ours but we get the "dishwater loudspeaker" effect out of the half sink. We have to put the sink plug is as our kitchen and living room are open plan. It annoys me everytime I hear it - more so as I spent a hundred quid on marine insulation to deaden the sound of the dishwasher as it's on an island. That works great can't hear it run, then the sodding thing pumps water out and it's ridiculously loud.

jack Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Based on my experience during our build, I don't know any good trades except our electrician and (to a lesser extent) groundworkers. Actually, I've since become friendly with a really good plumber (not the one who did the build!) who's coming around soon to price up a list of stuff we want fixing and changing. This is on the list, for sure. We have an identical problem with the water softener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvinmiddle Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hmmm. All the waste bin and various recycling bins fit in around the pipes, if I change it now it may not fit!! I think I'll put it in the same category as the boiler manual timer of "it's not 100%, but it works and there is a work around" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
