There is nothing wrong with that arrangement, provided that both traps are properly vented

In their installation instructions it says ( if you have a double sink, use separate traps for both sides) That is how i installed mine and have had know problems. It has a 3 yr. warranty, so i put it in the way they wanted it.

That isn't double trapped even though there is only one outlet for two traps.
"Double trapped" is when they're in series, IE the water leaving the first trap enters the inlet of the second trap.
Actually that situation is technically two "S" traps since they're not properly vented.

Where are you getting double trapped from? Serious

That is not a double-trap situation since the traps are not in a series.

The picture in post 1 is a double trap - two traps in series.

The picture in post 9 is not a double trap, but it's still improper.

That's my take as well.

Right.

The installation in post #9 is really a modified "S" trap....a type of trap prohibited by plumbing codes.

Agreed. . .
