I have an island sink, but dishwasher is across an isle at the wall and has to be drained independently. The current setup (inherited with the house) utilizes a pretty long hose to drain under the floor (see the chart) and does not work well
From time to time dishwasher does not drain. If I unhook its drain hose (blue) from the long underfloor one (blank) and put it in the bucket, it works
just fine.
I though of replacing the black hose with a pipe. However I cannot get a pipe to stand up behind the dishwasher, so I still need a hose to go through the floor. Something like that
My questions are
1) Will it work and is it not against some obvious rules ?
If yes
2) How should I connect a shorter hose to the pipe ? Should I built a vent at the connection ? The hose will be coming not just from the top, but from a side, at what angle should I attach it ?
3) Should I move the P-trap to where the hose will attach ?
4) What diameter should the pipe be ?
