Can a garbage disposal be installed with a studor mini vent & how?

Where is the disposal draining to? Is it in a sink which is NOT vented now?

A disposer is not "officially" a pumped drain, but it acts that way to some extent, making a studor a bad choice.

How about a pic of what you have and what you want to do:?"

The vent is in the way of where the disposal has to be installed. Can the vent be moved or modified?

Unless it is a single bowl sink, the question is irrelevent and you are installing the disposer incorrectly. If it is a single sink, then the answer is yes.

HOW you do it would determine whether you can do it or not.
