It looks like that used to go to be the drain for another sink? Is that a possibility? Even the supply lines come from over there. That’s what I’d guess it was, just an improperly capped off sink drain.

You're correct Kevin.

It’s an “overflow”.


When the trap backs up, keeps the crud from "overflowing" into the sink. ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)

Kevin is correct, the AAV would be on the other side of the trap.

Hi. to you all.


I believe this is another homeowner re-hab, where a mechanical vent was installed and is legal in most states for re-hab work, but I still recommend that a licensed plumber investigate the installation.
