loop, depending on local codes and ordinances, to prevent back flow into the dishwasher.
• An air gap must be used if the waste tee or garbage disposal connection is less than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the floor, to

Drain preparation
The type of drain installation required depends on the answers to the following questions:
• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
• Will the waste tee or garbage disposal connection be less than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the floor?
• Will installation have a drain loop less than 32 in. (81.28 cm) above the floor?
If the answer to ANY of these questions is YES, Method 1 MUST be used. Otherwise, either Method 1 or
Method 2 may be used.
Install the waste tee or garbage disposal connection and air gap according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Caution:
• An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to a waste tee or garbage disposal lower than 18 in. (45.72 cm) above the
floor.
• Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32 in. (81.28 cm) (min.) high drain loop will result in
improper draining of the dishwasher.
