Back-Siphon Valves in Dishwashers?

[rminv]

I'd like to avoid putting in an air gap near our sink (forgetting code for a second).

Does anyone know if Maytag (QuietSeries400) has an anti siphon valve in their dishwasher outputs?

In other words, if I don't use an air gap am I risking back contamination or do modern day dishwashers have something that protects them?

Thanks.

Run the drain hose to underneath the top of the sink and use a wire tie to hold it there. As long as it is looped higher than the drain, you will not have any backup.
