Do I Need A Dishwasher Air Gap?...My States Plumbing Code says YES!!

What happens here

After all hoses are connected and properly sloped, double-check that all hose clamps are securely tightened. Turn on the dishwasher and listen for the water draining. Visually inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. The water should flow smoothly through the air gap and into the garbage disposal without any blockages or drips. If any leaks are found, tighten the respective hose clamp further. Once confirmed, the installation is complete.

Goal: This final step involves ensuring all connections are tight and then running the dishwasher to test for proper drainage and absence of leaks.
