Unusual Dishwasher Installation
I'm beginning the process of installing a dishwasher in our 55 year old house. It cannot be placed next to the sink, but all the lines, including electric are located right underneath the floor where the dishwasher will go. So, through the floor I will go.
1) Must I run the electric cable and the plumbing pipes through separate holes through the floor or can everybody share? (Water and electricity side by side--sounds risky.)
2) Once under the floor, I need to connect to a 2" PVC drain which comes from the sink on its way to the main. How to create the air gap so that I won't get stuff backwashing up from the sink? Can I loop the drain hose up above the PVC (making my own J trap) before attaching to the PVC? Since I will be selling the house someday, I don't want to be too far from code.
