What are you supposed to use for the vent side? I assume this is to let air in? Also, are you supposed to use a P trap from the sink into it?

I used the same 1 1/2" pvc straight up through the ceiling. It works perfectly. And yes, use a p trap

I ran some PVC elbows and PVC pipe above the level of the sink. I have the vent about 3 feet over the sink and if for some reason there is a back flow up the vent I have it so it will go back into the utility sink. I use a P trap because it will stop any smell from coming back from the drain.

My vents are in the floor, but I just took off the grate and taped it to the inside of the grate. Then I stuck the grate back down in the floor. Don't see why the same wouldn't work on a wall vent unless the vent is open on both sides or can't be removed.

I just bought this sink and my husband installed it. And, no nothing special needed. However the disposal is heavy and awkward to get it installed. We finally ended up using a small jack to balance disposal while making sure it was secure. Good luck!

I had that same problem, i had to you a flat head screwdriver, if not it would have stayed stuck in the vent. When you use the flathead make sure you push it in also due to the hooks that hold on to the vent.

I haven't used it in a sink, but considering your minimum radius is about 6", it will not get around a P trap. Length of mine is about 3'.

You will need a way to vent the air out of the cabinet. You can point the device and in any direction to direct the air in a certain way, but you will need to vent it. Truthfully, you should have an intake and exhaust. A direction for air to enter and exit, otherwise you are still putting your equipment at risk.

Yes, I have installed them both ways, but which way you install them depends on which way the pipe in the wall connects to the inlet. If the pipe comes from below, you install the inlet so the trap door opens downward. If the pipe comes from above, you install the inlet so the trap door opens upward. Having the hose sit on the trap door doesn't seem to be a problem.

I have 2 installed. Yes they are suppose to. I have 2 of the larger brass ones. I think those work better. I replaced one of these with the larger brass one. I have these smaller ones on the basement zone and seem to work fine. From what I was told the knob has to be screwed in. the air will still be able to get out. I had one of these that did not seem to do the job and just put the brass one in. Everything is fine now. Just started the furnace last week and no air in the system. I think these small ones with the knob on top can leak. The one of mine did. Some one else said the same thing.

It isn't direct vent, PERIOD. Maybe, I implied something???? Worked in installation, service of all types of gas appliances 20 years. Resend me my actuall comment & I shallreply!

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

put vent on it. Make sure you vent it out side of compartment so fumes don't explode.

I bought this sink and itbis installed with small side of sink in th right....you can.turn.it. th inky advice i have is to be sre to make th hole where your water fixture goes in th center. Without thinking i put it centered on th big part of th sink and it cant reach th small part...my granite guy didnt offer up this thought. It works though because i have fixture with pull out to reach th small side....which is where i have my disposal! Good sink for th cost....it does get scratches....this is typical for this gauge of sink/stainless.

This is mainly a Floor Duct Vent as far as I recall. you may need an actual Wall Vent. Good Luck.

My plumber "vented" vertically. But beware. There is very little space between the insode and outside walls and if you live in an area that is prone to freezing temps, the cold air will come through the vent and cause the soldiered pipes to burst from the water freezing insode them which will then cause major flood damage. I know, Ive been there and Marrey did nothing for me. "It's your fault!"

You're trying to get the volume of air coming out, so it's best to measure the duct. The installed grill will reduce flow so if you want to know exactly what's happening, measure the inside of the grill opening edge to edge, not from the outside lip. Some grills that are adjustable restrict the flow quite a bit, so depending on what you are trying to figure out, take that into account too.

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.
