hello all,

I would like to install a cheater vent under my kitchen sink. my dishwasher and washing machine both back up into my kitchen sink when they drain, I'm hoping this will solve the problem. I tried to snake it and got no where. how would I set this up, what kind of tee would I use, there are so many adapters and fittings, etc?

You have a vent in the wall now. Adding more venting won't help it drain. I would hire the snaking out though. And something like Bio-Clean helps with the crud that wind up in kitchen pipes.

Venting is after the p-trap,and that would be in the wall.

I know the previous owners remodeled the kitchen, i was wondering if they added a vent, I can also add the all the toilets bubble before they flush, but are never clogged, and yes that's what I used attached to my drill it did not go far at all. thanks guys
