I want to remodel the kitchen in a home I am buying, and I would like to
move the sink out of the dark area it is in to a more lighted area on a
peninsula. This means it will move about 3 feet away from the wall and be
shifted over about one foot.

I suspect that this is a problem. I remember from somewhere that you
have to have the trap close to the standing waste pipe. Can I just run a
long section over to the wall and put the trap near the wall or do I have to
do something else?

Thanks for any help, I can post layouts if needed.
