See below. METHOD 1-Air Gap with Waste Tee or Disposer Drain Method The type of drain installation depends on the following: • Do local codes or ordinances require an air gap? • Is waste tee less than 18" above the floor? If the answer to either question is YES, an air gap (Method 1) must be used. If both answers are NO, either an air gap or a high drain loop (Method 2) may be used.
