I've got a 4 hole sink, the 4th hole is occupied by a dishwasher vent device
I bought a new faucet and i want to replace the vent with the new spray
nozzle. Is there a different style of dishwasher vent i can install under
the sink somewhere so i can use the hole it occupied for my sprayer?
Thanks
Eric

They are available, but are they legal in your municipality? Also check on
air admittance valves ("studor valves") if they are permitted by code.

We like the faucets with a pull-out spray (ours is a Moen). That would
allow you to have a spray and keep the dishwasher vent, which may be
required by your local authorities.

The device in question is actually an air gap for the dishwasher. It's
there to eliminate the possibility of dirty water siphoning back into
the dishwasher if your sink drain became clogged. Dishwasher makers
usually recommend using them, but don't require them. If code doesn't
require one in your area, the alternative is to have a high loop
instead. This is where the dishwasher hose goes up to the bottom of
the counter top and is held there by a clamp or cable tie. Most
dishwasher's don't have the air gap device installed and never have a
problem.
