What should I know about installing a dishwasher with an air gap?

You should know when installing a dishwasher with an air gap. Many local buildings code requires you to connect the air gap to the dishwasher before you connect to the disposal. This keeps waste-water from backing up in your dishwasher.

First, you'll need the dishwasher and air gap (sold separately). Drill the holes for the supply, wiring, and drainpipes. Hook up one side of the air gap to one of the holes in the sink and the other to the dishwasher. Finally hook up the necessary parts of the dishwasher.
