Kitchen sink always clogged

[s_petrucci]

Hi there,

I am wondering if I could get an expert advice from you guys here.

This is my sad story: a while ago I removed the garbage disposal thing from my sink as I replaced two of them (each above 100 dollars) since they start stinking and we don't use it anyways! I did this little plumbing job to connect the 2nd small sink (used by the garbage disposal unit) to the main sink.

I think after it (if it is not a coincidence) my sink gets clogged all the time.

I used liquid, then took the U trap apart and it seems to be clean. I also used the cable but it doesn't catch anything.

After each time it gets clogged I use a plunger and it drains down well... for a few minutes only. Then it starts again.

I am wondering if you guys could take a look at my pipe work and point me at the right direction, please...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers

What country is this in? Fittings look a little off. Thats taking the long way around to get to the drain.

The DBL TEE on the left outlet has to go.

The install should look something like below-

this is what i see, the existing fitting attached to the basket strainer, is a female x coupling fitting, it needs to be a female x fitting
this is a fitting adaptor, it fits inside another fitting

this is what you have, a regular adaptor, , useing the fitting adaptor will give you an extra 2'' of heigth

also, the drain for the disposal, move it to where shown,
reroute the drain line [green] loop up to bottom of cabinet, then over to new fitting.

to add to the green drain . insert a 2'' long copper pipe into end of tube attach another tupe to copper
tighten with hose clamp.
