Make? Model
I don't recall any specific requirements but check the unit's installation instructions. It would likely depend on the design of the dishwasher in question.
I wouldn't think the dishwasher would pump too much further than the factory drain hose length and certainly not if you were planning on it being in any way vertical.

Thanks Dan, that kinda brings me to my next question, why do they want the line going up to an air gap then down to the disposal ? Why not just straight to the disposal ?Little about a lot and a lot about a little.

That makes sense but with a dishwasher the drain line will never be lower than the garbage disposal (where the dishwasher drain connects) or the drain line if there is no dishwasher.Little about a lot and a lot about a little.
