waste for triple sink?

Sep 10, 2013 21 Replies

With 3 traps there are 2 traps between any pair of bowls. That's significant resistance.

With 1 trap the 2 bowls are simply plumbed directly to each other, no extra resistance between them.

In electronic terms:

----R1---+---R2----- | R3 |

versus

--------+--------- | R3 |

where R1&2 = trap resistance, R3 = waste pipe resistance Anyone that understands the basics of impedance can see which is more prone to one bowl filling the other.

Grow up. Youre not 13 any more.
