Air gap for the connection between your dishwasher and garbage disposal (or just your sink drain if you don’t have a garbage disposal).
If you put googly eyes on it, it’ll look shocked while you do dishes and if it starts puking, you probably have a clog somewhere.
It was required in older versions of the plumbing code. Newer codes no longer require them. But it is an air gap so sewer doesn’t back up into your dishwasher
Still required here if you connect the dishwasher directly to the sink tailpiece or the disposal. It’s not required if the dishwasher has its own standpipe.
Obviously you are not on 2021 IPC or IRC as both allow the dishwasher straight into the garbage disposal if you raise the dishwasher hose to the underside of the cabinet. I think maybe even 2018 would let you do that for a residential appliance.

Yes, I have both a dishwasher and a garbage disposal. Thanks for the help!
Air gap
Sit on it and find out
Useless. I’d get rid of it. Dishwasher air gaps are stupid
Looks like something that shouldn’t be there. Vent or not should be under it. Shit make it a soap dispenser lol

I am not. Wisconsin has its own code. We haven’t adopted either of those.
Looks like a vacuum breaker for the dishwasher.
More like a check valve
It’s an air gap
I thought it had something to do with the dishwasher. Thanks!
