Upon arrival, I found that the kitchen sink drain was not piped correctly. The primary issue was related to the dishwasher connection. The tailpiece adapter had been cut too short, and the Studor vent was installed at an improper height relative to the fixture’s flood rim/overflow level and did not meet current code requirements.
