Nice dishwasher setup

[Stephen W. Stanczyk]

Came across this yesterday. I guess they didn't like the air-gap so they disconnected and went with direct hook-up. Maybe because it got in the way of their NM cable and plug wiring. Or maybe because the drain line was too short to connect to the air gap so they pulled down the pipe leaving a gap between the extension tube and the trap.

Do ya think they read the directions?

nice uphill drain.

[William J. Decker]

Great call, Steve;

We call it a 'high loop' around here.

Thanks;

[Jay Moge]

why not just hook it up to the disposal, where it belongs?

[Brian E. Kelly]

I like what looks like PB pipe in the background.

120v dishwasher, good eye, and sometimes a dead giveaway. But if that wasn't your clue, i'd love to know how the inside of a cupboard tells you it a mobile, or mod. Tell oh wise one, for we are not wirthy

The flat plug in background.
the all black drains for plumbing.
The xheap cabinets, that are seperating in the background.

These make it look like a mobile home. Is it?

[Russel Ray]

The cabinet and the way the plastic water pipes are run tell me it's a mobile home, so I'm going with Ben on that. Not sure about the all-black drains, though, since 95% of my inspections have all-black ABS drains.

[bkelly1]

I hardle ever see black drains inside, unless it is a mobile. Will occasionally see it in a stick built home. Rarely

[Russel Ray]

So what do you see, Ben, if you don't see black ABS plastic?

I find chrome and plastic chrome sometimes.

[bkelly1]

White - Pvc

[Russel Ray]

For all the drainage pipes? Hmmmmmmmm. Perhaps white ABS plastic? They do have that, but it's usually more expensive than black ABS. Or perhaps white CPVC?

[bkelly1]

Sorry CPVC. I left out the C

[Doug Edwards]

I vote its a mobile also for the same reasons. Before I read all the thread I saw the woodgrain paneling in the back of the cabinet and the black ABS plastic drains. It just screams mobile home. I could be wrong. I was once before.
