Disconnect the drain pipe from the sink. The drain pipe is connected at the bottom of your sink strainer with a slip nut or a coupling nut, that connects plastic drain piping to a metal sink strainer. First loosen the nut that attaches the strainer to the drain pipe with channel locks or an adjustable wrench.
Measure the sink tailpiece between the basket strainer and the tee. That measurement is the extra depth that can be added to the sink bowl without lowering the drainpipe going into the wall. Also be aware that a new disposer may have a lower drainpipe than your existing oneâbut it canât be lower than the tee. If the disposer drainpipe will be too low, consider a sink with different depth bowls. Youâll have a deep bowl for dishes and a shallow one for the disposer.
