I used to have one of those, but you just can't get the sheet music for them now

Hey that's about 8 inches to the weir. I bet it seals really, really well. Extra points for creative use of fittings in ways the designers never dreamed of and a triple word score for using three waste arms on a single drain. Was the seller an engineer?

Was it high enough so that water stands in the disposer too?

Another roller coaster installation. Excellent plumbing work.


That install reminds me of this waste pipe sending washer waste water up hill and then the sink waste water helps to keep the trap full at all times....

What the hell are these people smoking?
