• Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap?
,VZDVWHWHHOHVVWKDQDERYHWKHÀRRU"
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.
PRECAUCIÓN
SE DEBE USAR un espacio de aire si la manguera
de drenaje se conecta a la T de desechos o al triturador
menos de 18" por encima del nivel del piso. No disponer
la altura correcta de la conexión del drenaje con
un espacio de aire o 32" de mínimo, una curva alta
de drenaje resultará en un drenaje incorrecto
de la lavadora, lo que pude causar daños.
