Hi, while doing a minor kitchen remodel with new sinks and faucets, I discovered the our ten-year-old house was originally plumbed with the waste line from the dishwasher draining directly to the sink waste line (through an air gap) rather than going through a garbage disposal that sits right next to the dishwasher. (The disposal's dishwasher inlet knockout plugs are are still intact, so it's been this way since the house was built.)
Is this Okay? It's been fine for ten years and I know that if there is no disposal, then this is acceptable, but I'm seeing some reports that a connection to a disposal, if one exists, is required by code and highly recommended.
I'm in the Seattle area, BTW.
Thanks
