I've had a Franke 1.5 sink fitted recently using their siphon 2 plumbing kit as part of a new kitchen installation. However, I now regularly get sewage smells coming into my kitchen.

I was wondering whether the air vent has been installed in the correct position. Should it be installed in the lower position which connects to the main bowl rather than to the .5 bowl.

Could this be causing the smells? Or should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks for any help and picture attached for
reference.

With what looks like a big blob of sillycon on the sink waste, pipework across the sockets and tape on compression threads it is typical kitchen fitter fare.
Does the smell come from the vent? - get your nose in there!

Intermittent sewage smell in new kitchen
Hi, I had a new kitchen installed and I have noticed since that there is a sewage smell that is very noticeable first in the morning. I m thinking it’s the trap seal, looking like it’s an S trap rather than a P trap that could be causing the water level to drop overnight. Any advice please ?

Hi, I know nothing about plumbing 🤦‍♂️ and am trying to sort out a leaking kitchen tap. It's a Franke Davos 'J' Tap. I turned off the water to the sink and took off the screws at the end of the handles (also the spout, although that may not have been necessary). I thought the handles should just...
