Installing Kenmore Ultrafilter 550 Reverse Osmosis system
 
Howdy,

The Kenmore system requires a drainage outlet to the sink's drain pipe. I
have a double sink, where the sink on the right side have a garbage disposal
connected and is connected to the left sink's drain pipe via T Connector
(the pipe is about 1.5 feet). It doesn't seem possible to install the
Kenmore Drain Connector because there's not enough room under the left
sink's drainage to add another connector.

It looks like I have the following options:
1.Install a T-type connector between left & right sink drain pipe and
connect the Kenmore system to that point.

2.Remove existing drain pipe & install new pipe fittings that would extend
the pipping to give me to room to connect piping from the Kenmore system and
the right sink.

3. There is 1 foot of piping between the drain and the cabinet wall
(allowing the pipe to run downstairs) where a connector can easily be
installed.

IMO, 1 seem the easiest because I have a great view and can get at it w/o
any problem. 2 seem to be a lot of extra work. 3 doesn't give me the best
view, but should take less time than option 2.

Let me know if you have any other idea or which of the three option is
better.

Usually you can mount a drain saddle directly to the PVC line coming out
of the garbage disposal. Try to mount it up on the high side so that
the line doesn't get clogged from the waste coming out of the disposal.
