sink hookup

What's wrong with this picture? Well to start, the waste from the disposal has to go thru two traps; the one on the right is backwards. The rise is too high for any solids to actually make to the back wall. And personally I don't like to use sched. 20 more than necessary and some A.H.J.s won't allow a horizontal slip joint. I suggest you get that slip adapter out of the wall and stub out Sched 40 1-1/2" PVC. If you install the items listed below so each sink has its own trap, you'll have a professional job that still has removable traps in case you lose you wedding band down the drain. B.T.W. you can trim the 90* tailstock that came with the disposal if necessary to keep 1/4" per foot pitch to the horizontal drain pipes.

I had missed the washer drain loop as was mentioned before.   Without the loop if the drain clogs all the water can go into the dishwasher.   Roly

Without a high loop, contaminated water from your disposer will siphon back into your dishwasher pump. It can shorten the life of the pump and contaminate the dishwasher. Best case, your dishwasher will stink. Worst case, it can cause bacteria to grow in your dishwasher.

Also, your garbage disposal discharge is lower than the discharge after it's P-Trap. The P-Trap shouldn't even be there. So the water has to flow uphill to drain the disposer into the left sink tailpiece. Water doesn't flow uphill. So you will always have standing water in the disposer and debris will clog that trap. The pipe from the disposer should go directly to the tailpiece coming down from the left sink drain but at a 1/4" per ft. slope downhill. This pipe will have to be above the height of the drain connection at your wall.

So, take it all apart and start over and make it look like this:

Thanks Roly, ignorance is embarrassing.

Thanks everyone. All of this information is very helpful. Especially for someone who knows very little about plumbing.
