Installing a glass rinser on the sink

[MissMarvel]

Is there a product or mechanism that would allow me to install a glass rinser (see example photo) over the top of, in lieu of, or simultaneously with the dishwasher vent? I have the ability to install the glass rinser, but I do not have the capability of drilling a new hole for this in my sink/counter and wondering is there is a work around. Maybe a dual-purpose product?
Thank you, MissMarvel

I believe that is designed for the mechanics of that washer to only be installed under the counter, as they are in a commercial bar. I know of no "workaround" to install this. What is the apprehension of drilling a hole? Most professionals can easily drill a hole for you.

No you can have an air gap, or the rinser if there is only one hole available.

No... those are designed to be installed in cup rinser spaces. Unless you already have a sink basin with it already you will spend $$$ for a lot of custom plumbing and shetmetal work.
Definitely don't think people would go this route but would you could do is buy a new sink that has this built into the design. Found one on Amazon for 400ish bucks but these are not that great quality. Would recommend Blanco/Franke/kholer some brands that been around a while and not fly by night on anazon.

I've installed a couple of these before. They are designed to be on the counter and use a 1 3/8" hole like an air gap or soap dispenser. New sink and sheet metal work is unnecessary. If the air gap is being kept a new hole does have to be drilled in the countertop or sink depending on the setup.

That could be kinda cool to install, I have a soap dispenser hole that my wife does not use and hates. I could put one of these in there. Do they jyst yse a cold water supply ?

Yes

Can anyone tell me if these are UPC 2021 compliant. We are building a house and I had planned to install one however someone advised me to check if they are even allowed? I can’t personally see the harm in it but I thought I should check anyways. I know that Austin, TX uses UPC 2021 as their code guidelines but I also don’t know how to find out if there are any ammendments for this that might not be in the uniform code. Is there anyone that can help me with this discovery. Thanks in Advance!

So you want to know if the government will allow you to have a glass washer on your sink ?

That’s mighty patriotic, but I’d install it in my house if I wanted one, code be damned.

Just left a clients house who had this on the counter and I have seen them built into the sink basin. As long as you get the correct hardware both are doable. I prefer built into the sink basin rather then counter top mounted unit. Good luck!
