    Cool... then plastic it is... super easy to work with plastic.

    Install the sink and the new strainer (or disposal) and then take a list of basic fittings you think you will need to nearest home supply store... bring a pic. With you if possible... they should be able to help you get the right fittings... OR you can post a picture here (under "go advanced") and we can tell you how we would pipe it.

    Also note that you are right... just get longer braided hoses for water... just make sure you get the right ends for your pipes.

    Let us know if we can help.

    Remember to get 22 1/2 degree elbows. They will help immensely with alignment.
