I am installing a new dishwasher. The DW is not next to the sink, so there is a drain pipe located in the wall directly behind the DW space.
My plan is to route the drain hose from the DW up to the top of the space to make a loop and then go back down to the drain pipe outlet, which is located 20" from the floor.
My question is: does the hose need to go directly downhill from the loop to the drain pipe, or is it okay for it to go down to the floor level and then up the 20" to the drain pipe at the end of it's path? Will it make a difference in any way as to how the drain will operate? I would like to route it to the floor first to make more space for getting the DW further back into the space.
Thank you,
