Just installed a Sure Vent underneath our kitchen island sink. I added the T and 5-6 inch of pipe between the T and the sure vent.
Now water is filling up the sink and the sure vent pipe.
What did I do wrong?

Did you stuff a rag in the pipe to prevent smells or possibly dribbled some pipe cement in the drain and it spread over the water in the trap made a plastic plug I have seen that before.– Ed BealCommented Mar 24, 2021 at 21:38

3The sanitary Tee in your photo is installed UPSIDE DOWN. The curve should be going down to drain, not up to vent.– Alaska ManCommented Mar 26, 2021 at 16:45

@alaskaman I didn't realize there was a side to install it. Do you think it's worth redoing it? Seems to work fine now but ...– philgo20Commented Mar 29, 2021 at 0:37

The actual issue was the drain blocked. The Surevent was properly installed and just exposed even further the fact that our drain was clogged. A full bottle Drano and a few dead dolphins later we are good to go.
