DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
Followlocalcodes andordinances. eDo notexceed10feetdistanceto drain. oDo notconnectdrainlines fromother devices
tothe dishwasherdrainhose. oDishwashermustbe connectedto waste linewith an
airgap(notsupplied)or32"minimumhighdrainloop,
dependingon local codesandordinancesto prevent
backflow intothe dishwasher. _Air gap mustbeusedifwastetee ordisposerconnec-
tion islessthan 18"abovethe floor to preventsiphoning.
DRAIN PREPARATION The type of drain installation depends on answers to
the following questions:
Do local codes or ordinances require anair 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 eitherMethod 1
or Method 2may be used. Figure 3 or Figure 4.
CAUTION:
AnairgapMUSTBEUSEDifthe drainhoseisconnected towasteteeor disposerlowerthan18"abovethefloor.
