Hi all,
We had some work done, and I get the feeling the guy who did it didn't really know what he was doing. Being a noob, I need to confirm my noob logic.
In the attached image:
A - waste
B - from the sink
C - Fork plastic bit
D - waste pipe for dishwasher

D is lower than A, so logically, all our waste from B is in theory flowing to D, which can't be right?!?
As a solution, I'm wondering if I can just:
- Remove "D"
- Cap off the right hand side of C with a plastic screw cover thingy.
- Replace "B" with something of the same length, but with a entry point for the dishwasher (sort of like a T junction).
The thing which I don't quite get is that the top of "A" has a rubber seal and small lip (about 3mm) which fits into the grey sink waste thing above it. Does this mean the T junction part is not a normal one, or do I need to ask for something special/specific? Also, are sizes/lengths standardised, or should I take the existing part with me for reference?
I could replace "C" but not sure what the point is if I can just seal off the right hand side with a screw on cover.
All suggestions appreciated!
Thanks!!!
