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.
