Help, my kitchen sink is too deep for the pipe drain ??

6 years ago

I purchased this all in one sink and it seems my pipes are not clogged but the sink drain may be too deep for the drain pipe?? Its not that much deeper than the original sink. A plumber on the phone told me many of his customers don't realize this until after purchasing a new larger sink but the pipes in the wall need vents so the drain systems are commonly designed for shallow standard sinks. A friend suggested capping it off and making a new drain going down and out. Then I run into the problem of needing a vent?? I can't afford a plumber it seems and basically may be cheaper to go back to a standard sink but I don't have it anyway. So either way I have to spend more money on new plumbing or repurchase a sink / cabinet / faucet etc. and reconnect as it was before.

Any feedback / ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated
