What does the plumbing look like for a double sink no garbage disposal and a dishwasher?

Most common is a center drain, but it can be at either side depending on where the drain goes into the wall. On the side closest to the dishwasher, the tail piece directly under the sink has a smaller tube in the side of it for the dishwasher drain.

Install garbage disposal on which side of double sink?
Unless there is another issue like drain location or cabinet design it is pretty much personal preference. The side closest to the dishwasher if you have one would probably be best for the dishwasher drain hook up

Can you install a garbage disposal in a single bowl sink?
My question was to compare a double bowl kitchen sink to installing a single bowl one. There is currently a garbage disposal in the double bowl sink.

If you don't have a disposal, you can get a Tail piece, the section of drain right below the bottom of the sink that has a Y on it that is the size of the drain from the dishwasher.
Why on a double-bowl sink does the water shoot up and out of the other side when the garbage disposal is turned on if the pipes are all clear under the sink?
The disposal is forcing the water out. It seems your down drain must be further away than the 2nd sink and the water is taking the path of least resistance to go somewhere fast. tthere is an inlet on the side of your disposal for a dishwasher hook up. Ceck that if there is no dishwasher hookup going into your disposal you need to plug that hole. == Answer== It could be someone did not use a baffle tee. It is always best to plumb disposal into p-trap first and use waste arm to connect basket strainer. They may have it the other way with no baffle.
How do you plumb a garbage disposal in a sink with one drain?
Same as you would for a double sink. There is a short tail piece with the disposal that attaches with a flat plate and a short bolt. Install the disposal on the sink and route the drain as needed. There has to be a trap between the disposal and the drain.
Why does the water from the disposal side of the double sink drain into the dishwasher?
Probably the drain hose from the dishwasher isn't high enough to keep the water from running back . The hose should be above the level of the disposal at some point. Some states require an "air gap" which is a device that is placed in the drain line to prevent this. Some states require a simple high loop in the drain hose. Many dishwasher manufacturers are now installing backflow preventers in the dishwasher.
Why on a double bowl sink does the water shoot up and out of the other side when the garbage disposal is turned on if the pipes are all clear under the sink?
This will only happen if the drain pipe is clogged further down the line, near or in the wall. Possibly if the garbage disposal has been installed by an amateur, the 90 fitting going to the other tub has been installed the wrong way.
How do you fix the garbage disposal when the water does not drain?
If it is a double sink, does the other side drain? Are you trying to fix the disposal because it does not come on or because it comes on but does not drain. If it comes on but does not drain and the other side does, it is probably just clogged with food. They make drain cleaners for disposals. If neither side drains, put the stopper in the disposal side, hold down on it and plunge the other side.
Where is the reset button on a garbage disposal system?
You need to lie on the floor in front of the sink and look at the bottom of the disposal canister to see it. Or, use your palm to feel it. Your disposal should also have a small wrench that came with it.First, make sure the power switch on the wall is OFF and that no one is near the disposal. Second, press the reset button. Get up, turn the water on and see if the disposal works. If not, turn the switch OFF again. Read the manual to find the section about using the wrench. It should say to turn it in a clockwise direction---if unsure, call the manufacturer or a plumbing store to double-check. After turning the wrench, get back up and re-try the disposal with the water running.NEVER insert anything into a disposal except food scraps.NEVER put a wooden spoon, long tool, or your hand/arm into the disposal to free the blades!Once you get it going with the reset button and wrench tool, you can dump in a half cup of ice, along with 1/4 cup of Baking Soda, followed by more ice. Turn on the disposal and let it grind the ice while running warm water through the disposal.Other people use small cut lemon slices to freshen the disposal.
