To hook a drain line, not a water line, from the dishwasher to the garbage disposer is as follows:
there is a connection on the garbage disposer for a dishwasher (on the side) There is a plastic fitting that came with the disposer(if all parts were saved) The fitting is going to look like it has barbed ridges(fortubing toslide over)on one end and a flange and seal at the other end.
1) make sure the plastic is knocked out of the disposer where the fitting connects to.
2) Connect fitting to disposer using 2 screws
3) Connect drain hose from dishwasher to disposer by sliding rubber gromet over plastic barbed fitting.
Make sure you cut the rubber gromet to the right size of the fitting
4) Use hose clamp over rubber gromet.
5) Use zip ties to hang drain tubing as high as you can so water wont drain back into dishwasher. (new dishwashers ususally have p-trap built into the drain line already.)
thats it. should work

∙ 14y agoMost Garbage Disposals have a dishwasher inlet on the side that the Dishwasher's drain hose can connect to. This way only the disposal needs to be connected to the drain. Just be sure to knock out the plug on the disposal's dishwasher drain inlet before connecting with a hose clamp.

Why does the water from the disposal side of the double sink drain into the dishwasher?
Probably the drain hose from the dishwasher isn't high enough to keep the water from running back . The hose should be above the level of the disposal at some point. Some states require an "air gap" which is a device that is placed in the drain line to prevent this. Some states require a simple high loop in the drain hose. Many dishwasher manufacturers are now installing backflow preventers in the dishwasher.
