Greetings,
A quick little back story. When we remodeled the kitchen 13 years ago, we didn’t want an air gap (even though it was code), so the plumber looped the drain hose by the dishwasher and ran it through the floor (raised foundation) discharging into one of the drain pipes. The hole we had drilled in the quartz countertop at the sink was used for the garbage disposal air switch.
Fast forward to now. We need to replace the dishwasher and with resale in mind, we plan on putting in an air gap to bring it up to code and put the garbage disposer on a switch.
We will most likely go with Bosch this time around.
The kitchen is “L” shaped having the sink and dishwasher on adjacent walls. Which leads me to my questions running the new discharge hose.
Options to run the discharge hose are:
1) Under the floor and back up into the sink cabinet and do the high loop there. This would allow using a shorter hose by running it on the diagonal under the floor attached with clamps to the underside of the joists.
2) Do the high loop at the dishwasher and run in the tops of the cabinets following the “L” layout.
3) Run in the bottoms of the cabinets following the “L” layout and do the high loop in the sink cabinet
Are there any other options I am missing?
Thank you for your time with the assistance.
