Two dishwashers- one disposal. How?

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

Hi, everyone.

Can anyone tell me the proper way to set up two dishwashers (flanking cleanup sink) to one disposal? We aren't in air gap territory. I think that means people around here do the "high loop" type of installation if I have my terminology right. Though I suppose I could do an air gap if that would be better.

Any insight?

Thanks!

One dishwasher will drain into the disposal and the other one into the drain itself. Both dishwasher drain hoses will need a high loop.

Thanks! Is there a special piece/fitting I can buy to connect the second dishwasher to the drain?

Thank you both. Do you think this setup is preferable to getting a drain hose joiner and putting them both into the disposal?
