Air gap for dishwashers

[GL77]

Is it unnecessary to put in an air gap for a dishwasher now? Does putting a high loop in the drain tube work just as well or is an air gap better?

Air gap is better. What is allowed depends on your local code.

The latest trend on dishwasher air gaps is installing a pipe stack under the sink with the drain hose looped over into the pipe similar to a washing machine.
