Hi all
I’m installing a new kitchen and wondered what the best way is to do the waste outlet for the dishwasher. It’s a fitted kitchen therefore limited space behind appliances/cabinets. As the kitchen/lounge are open plan I’m very keen to avoid smells (drain smell / stagnant water) and sink gurgling noise. Dishwasher is next to sink, so I was planning to bring the d/w waste into the sink cabinet.
The room doesn’t have any existing pipework yet apart from the 50mm in a corner near sink cabinet.
I will be looking to fit an anti-syphon bottle trap on the sink, and also an AAV between sink and dishwasher - overkill??
I don’t know what to do with the type of trap. I’m guessing in the ideal world a spigot sort with a small U bend fitted inline on the branch pipe after the AAV would be best if I could find one. I saw the Hepvo traps, they’re a bit pricey (especially as I probably need one for the washing machine too!), but if that’s what’s recommended and best then I’ll take the hit. I don’t like the sink trap connected spigots as I’m certain that’ll cause gurgling, and with the standpipes I’m bothered about smell - plus I’m not sure if it’s advisable to cut them down in height as they won’t fit inside the sink cupboard anyway without being cut.
Any suggestions or kind advice anyone please?
Cheers,
Dave
