    You refer to a "low pipe". If the P trap end is below the wall connection, because of a deep sink, and you cannot raise the connections by judicious cutting, the only solution is to open the wall and lower the connection. Otherwise, the Disposal will always be full of water.

    Ma0641: You are correct. I picked this drawing from the net, not noticing the low connection. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

    Unfortunately, the system won't let me edit the photo. So, let me look up and post another one...

    Thanks again

    Milo, I was referring to the OP stating "the drain pipe was low under the sink". I was not referring to your layout . However, the second picture does indeed raise the P Trap.
