Flex line should not be used. Appears to be no High Loop in DW drain. The air admittance valve should be at least 6" above the P-trap weir (looks to be maybe 4 1/2")

Any winner yet?

Congratulations to Steve Nadeau for winning the QOTW. :slight_smile:

Congratulations, Steve. I missed the air admittance valve height. It was so close…#-o

Wow! Thanks for the questions Marc. I would’ve used my tape measure to confirm, but I leant it to the client to keep him out of my hair.
