I need to move the drain location under our kitchen sink slightly and

Does anyone know where one can download dimensional drawings for PVC
fittings -- specifically the 1-1/2" sch 40 fittings?

Oh, you mean you want it to look like you know what you're doing once you
get started....

Doubt if it will help. Reality is under the sink.

It all started when I remodeled the kitchen. I had to move the sink
base over 3". I knew where the drain exited the wall relative to the
original sink drains so I moved it over the 3" plus an amount to get
it exactly centered between the sinks. So far so good.

Then I wanted to get a true wye so everything would be symmetrical and
orderly. I couldn't find a 2x1-1/2x1-1/2 true wye anywhere and I
couldn't do it with reducing fittings because of the add'l length.
That's when my plan went off the rails. At that point I settled for a
regular reducing wye. That put the straight portion just a little too
far from the one drain to allow the P-Trap radius to span the
distance.

For the time being I have one of those adjustable down tubes, the ones
that look like a flexible drinking straw, and that just bugs the hell
out of me knowing I had screwed up in my planning.

I plan on using two 22-1/2 deg. street elbows to offset the straight
end of the wye. I know how much the drain needs to move to be close
enough to the down tube and I know how much space I have perpendicular
to the wall and that I why I need the dimensions.

Life may have been easier if I wasn't so anal.
