Kitchen Sink Replacement and Dishwasher Air Gap
Hey, I have never done any home improvement like this before, but I wanted to replace my very old (30 years) dual bowl kitchen sink with a new single bowl sink and while I am under the sink making these changes, should I go ahead and add a dishwasher air gap? Because eventually I will also replace the dishwasher. While it probably wasn't required back when my house was built, my state of GA does require one now. Also, I have Googled this and it seems like it has to be mounted through the countertop top? At least in the photos I found it was. Or can it be mounted under the counter? Or, is the little vent looking on top of one of the taller pipes, which is connected to both the main sink drain and the dishwasher hose the air gap? Here are some photos of my current plumbing. Thanks. submitted by /u/pieeatingchamp [link] [comments]
