Here's a picture of the kitchen in question:
The back right will be the refrigerator, the front left will be the stove/range. As you can tell, the sink base is just to the right of the fridge. All 4 base cabinets are 36"
My wife mentioned that during one of the inspections an inspector asked how much countertop space we were going to have between the fridge and the sink, but didn't mention specific requirements (by code). We hadn't decided at that point how big a sink we'd put in. Now we're there, and it appears we have essentially two choices: a 21" single sink or a set of two sinks that are about 29".
If we pick the 21" we'd have about 7.5" between the sink and the fridge, if we pick the 29" we'd have about 3".
I've been poring over the local plumbing code but see no restrictions at all, and I'm guessing the inspector was just asking and there are no requirements. I'm going to call later in the week when I have a free morning, but thought the reddit hivemind might have a (non official) answer for me in the meantime.
Does anyone know if there are typically code requirements preventing putting a sink at the end of a cabinet run? Or specific requirements for spacing?
