Sink w offset drain, garbage disposal and pull-out trash below?
Comments (9)we're planning this same set-up. I chose the blanco diamond super single because I wanted a single bowl sink with the drain off to the right side. We will also have a disposal and a hot water tap on the right. We planned it this way so we could free up the left side space for a garbage bin under the sink. We are planning for a rev-a-shelf double 35qt system which should fit perfectly. I'm waiting till our granite and sink are in before we do that though. On the other door I'm putting the rev-a-shelf sink base storage unit (holds dish soap, sponges..etc). My sinkbase is going to be jam-packed with stuff and it will hopefully make life easier. Here is a link that might be useful: trash bin...See MoreGarbage pullout for a 36' cabinet?
Comments (4)We have a very shallow pullout that we installed into our old kitchen, that was probably from Lowes. It's wire, with a small garbage can in front, and just enough space behind to put a box of the plastic bags that line the can. It just fit in front of our disposal. It's still in our garage -- I can measure this weekend if you email to remind me. My husband might remember more about where we got it, since it was installed within the last two years. Another idea, besides Rev-a-Shelf, is The Container Store. More expensive, but if you can go during the workweek when they are not mobbed, I would bet that someone can help you find something appropriate....See MoreShow me your garbage pullout under a farm/apron sink?
Comments (0)Okay, I'm getting a bit stressed now as the cab ordering looms. Can anyone show me their garbage pull out under an apron or farm sink? How small of a can is no longer useful? Do I bite the bullet and steal 12" or 15" from my 30" drawer base or shrink the DW to 18" and steal 6" from the DB? Or, is a can under a farm sink just fine and dandy even if it needs taking out more often?...See MoreWhat is this the toekick for a garbage pullout called?
Comments (3)I asked a similar question a day or two ago and got a very kind, detailed reply from Buehl. She mentions that the only maker of the foot pedal is from a company called Hafele. Here is the response: Posted by buehl (My Page) on Thu, Aug 7, 08 at 12:07 The only one I know about is the one made by Häfele. Others have asked and no one seems to know of any other either. You should be able to find installation info on either the Häfele site or one of the sites that sells it. There are two versions...one for trash cans mounted on rails (like yours) and one for trash cans mounted in a drawer-like base. Note that both are designed for frameless cabinets. However, a resourceful GWer posted what s/he did to adapt hers/his to framed cabinets. S/he has the rail type. See the info below. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From the "Pull Out Trash" thread started by ColdTropics on Fri, Jul 20, 07 at 2:43 Posted by metoo2 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 07 at 19:27 Front View when cabinet is shut: http://photos.gardenweb.com/home/galleries/2007/08/pull_out_trash_foot_pedal_fron.html?cat=kitchens View of foot pedal when cabinet is open: http://photos.gardenweb.com/home/galleries/2007/08/pull_out_trash_foot_pedal_door.html?cat=kitchens Keep in mind this view will be hidden when trash cans are in the cabinet. Metal plate mounted on bottom back of door: http://photos.gardenweb.com/home/galleries/2007/08/pull_out_trash_foot_pedal_meta.html?cat=kitchens This is the plate that is 3.5" tall--to deal with a face framed cabinet. Finally, looking at the bottom of the cabinet: http://photos.gardenweb.com/home/galleries/2007/08/pull_out_trash_foot_pedal_unde.html?cat=kitchens Glued a scrap of wood to the back of the face frame. Posted by metoo2 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 15, 07 at 20:01 muscat: The rails are always attached to the door-regardless of whether your trash cans hang from a rail, or your trash cans sit on a base. In your picture, the cans sit on a base. I believe that my modifications will also work with your situation (cans sitting on a base). However, you will need to make one minor modification that I did not do. That modification has to do with the elastic cords that come with the pedal. Elastic cords (ie, bungee cords) pull the door open when the pedal is kicked. You would have to alter where the front of the cords are mounted inside the cabinet. Very easy to do. Earlier posts on this thread refer to a version of the Häfele pedal for trash cans which sit on a base. I have not seen this product. I suspect they use the identical pedal, but altered the instructions relative to the location where to mount the elastic cords. Posted by lowspark (My Page) on Fri, Jul 20, 07 at 11:02 I'm not sure what the door mount kit is, but you have to have a pull out trash in order for the foot pedal to work. In other words, your trash bins should be hanging from a rail attached to the door OR sitting on a shelf attached to the door. The door should pull open like a drawer (not swing open like a normal cab) and as it pulls open the trash bins come out with it. Note that Häfele makes two different pedals, one for the bins hanging from rails and one for the bins sitting on the shelf. I'm not clear on which one you've linked to above. Also note that these foot pedals are designed for frameless cabs. I don't know if they can or have been used on framed cabs and would be interested to hear about that if anyone has. That should be Hafele (without the two dots above the "a"...apparently we can no longer use that character!!) Here are the links I have to the two kinds of Häfele pedals: Pedal for trash can which hangs from rails: http://www.kitchensource.com/trash/ha-5-44.htm Pedal for trash can which sits on base: http://www.kitchensource.com/trash/ha-5-43.htm ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note: In the two links above, the foot pedals are on the bottom of the pages. Click on the "Specs (PDF)" link below the picture. Other places than KitchenSource also sell these. (When determining your "best" price, be sure to factor in tax and shipping!) That should be Hafele (without the two dots above the "a"...apparently we can no longer use that character!!)...See More- 14 years ago
