Does anyone know of a Mfr that makes a simple retrofit assembly that would allow me to turn a commercial kitchen sink that's plumbed directly to the sanitary sewer system into an indirect connection? This is a remote remodel and I don't want to cut up the floor in order to install a floor sink (or similar) under the sink. What I'm looking for would be similar to an indirect waste for a backflow preventer (example) only made for under sink installations. Or perhaps a floor sink that's made for above ground installations that would fit under the normal sink waste lines.

Thanks for the help or leads.
 
Hi Russ,

It has been a while since we last talked.

Do you have enough room for a funnel drain? This may work provided the sink does not have a cabinet under it. Seem to me there is a requirement for indirect drains to be placed in a well-lit, well-ventilated area readily accessible for inspection and cleaning.
