loop. There is no minimum height required for drain hose

be used.
• If the answers are NO, either method may be used.
CABINET PREPARATION
• Drill a 1-1/2" dia. hole in the cabinet wall within the
shaded areas shown in Figure A for the drain hose
connection. The hole should be smooth with no
sharp edges.
Method 1—Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer
An air gap must be used when required by local codes and
ordinances. The air gap must be installed according to
manufacturers instructions.
