depending on local codes and ordinances to prevent
back flow into the dishwasher.
• Air gap must be used if waste tee or disposer connec-
tion is less than 18" above the floor to prevent siphoning.

the following questions:
Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
Will waste tee or disposer connection be less than
18" above the floor?
Will installation have a drain loop less than 32"
above floor?
If the answer to ANY of the 3 questions above is YES,
Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise either Method 1
or Method 2 may be used. Figure C or Figure D.
CAUTION:
An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected
to waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor.
