Hello All,
I would like to NOT have an air gap installed in the kitchen island mainly for aesthetic reasons. I live in California and my local building department said that I cannot use a high loop or AAV. I have been doing some searching through the forums here and it seems that I could add a standpipe with a dedicated p-trap for the dishwasher.
The current setup is in the first picture with the dishwasher located to the right.
Note the air loop has a 2" pipe up to the T and below the clean-out with a 1.5" loop.
1) Can I add another 2" T to the left side of the loop and just have two stacked Ts with one going to the sink and one to the new standpipe?
2) Is there a required distance between the Ts?
3) Is there a required height of the standpipe? i.e. like a vertical rise or rise above the sink base? To me it seems that with a dedicated p-trap the sink is decoupled and I don't to make the standpipe higher than it needs to be should I need to clean it out.
I'm thinking that I want to change the T that is in there now anyway because the plumber and the electrician didn't seem to communicate. I'm open to other ideas short of adding an air gap to the countertop.
