Before installing this type of dishwasher drain connection, make sure that the local building codes allow for the high loop method instead of an air gap.

In some communities, the high-loop method may not be allowed. Pull as much of the drain hose as possible from behind the dishwasher. You will need this extra drain hose to create the high loop before connecting the dishwasher hose to the garbage disposal. Pull the dishwasher drain hose up and strap it in place as high up as possible under the sink.

This high loop will help prevent wastewater from siphoning back into the dishwasher from the garbage disposal. A large pipe clamp or piece of flexible pipe strapping can be used to secure the hose to the underside of the countertop or to the wall near the countertop. Connect the dishwasher drain tube directly to the garbage disposal with hose clamps.

You may need a dishwasher connector fitting to make the transition from the hose to the garbage disposal. Once again, check the local building codes to make sure that the high loop method is legal in your area.

Pull as much of the drain line as possible from behind the dishwasher and loop it as high as possible under the sink and strap it in place. This will prevent wastewater from the sink drain from siphoning back into the dishwasher.

Y-branch tailpieces can be purchased that match the size of your dishwasher drain hose. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

A hybrid water heater, also known as a heat pump water heater, is a heater that combines a traditional water heater and a tankless heater. Similar to how a hybrid car combines mechanical components of a traditional gas engine and an electric engine, a hybrid water heater blends together the mechanics of both traditional and electric water heaters.

A hybrid water heater moves hot air to the water tank when needed instead of heating the water on demand.
