I'm curious what is an air cap? My disposal hose
currently and on the previous disposal ran
directly to a fitting on the disposal. I just
finished fixing a sink for another person (leaks,
etc.) and the drain went directly to a fitting on
the sink drain pipe (just below the sinking basket
(not disposal).

I probably made a mistake just now when I called it an airgap.

An air cap is visible at the top of the sink, to the right usually of
the faucet. It appears as a chromer cap and is mounted in the hole
that might otherwise have held the soap bottle or the vegetable
sprayer.

The drain water of the dishwasher goes up there, and then down to the
disposal. It's pumped up there, and uses gravity to get to the
disposal. Like a water fountain bubbler. Since it's not a closed
tube, it can't siphon. I forget what direction the siphoning would go
in, but it has something to do with germs.
