Hi,
I have a dishwasher but no garbage disposal. I want to install an air gap. It's my understanding that the standard sizes are:
The only air gaps I can find have a 7/8" discharge fitting, which it seems is used with a garbage disposal. Some websites refer to this as "standard", so I'm thinking there must be a non-standard air gap for connection to a dishwasher tailpiece (5/8") when you don't have a disposal. But I can't find this kind of air gap.
Does anyone know of an air gap that meets this requirement? Is the only way to do this with a reducer? Am I nuts?

- dishwasher wye sink tailpiece: 5/8" OD (takes 5/8" hose)
- air gap inlet: 5/8" OD (takes 5/8" hose)
- air gap discharge: ?
