Installation Preparation – Drain

PREPARE DRAIN PLUMBING

Drain Requirements

•Follow local codes and ordinances.

•Drain hose must not exceed 10 feet in length.

•A high drain loop or air gap is required. See below.

Drain Method

The type of drain installation depends on the following:

•Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?

•Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor?

If the answer to either question is YES, an air gap (Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO, either an air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2) may be used.

Special consideration for a dishwasher installed on a pedestal

lf the dishwasher is installed on an elevated platform, a high drain loop of at least 32" above the platform must be provided in addition to the air gap requirement determined above. This is necessary for proper drain performance.

CAUTION

An air gap MUST BE USED if the drain hose is connected to waste tee or disposer lower than 18" above the floor level. Failure to provide the proper drain connection height with an air gap or 32" minimum, high drain loop will result in improper draining of the dishwasher, which may cause damage.
