I need to install a diswasher drain line into an existing 1 1/2" white

Surely some part is made to solve this issue. What do I need?

Is there a garbage disposer? *Usually a dishwasher drains into the

Needs a vacuum break if you do it that way, usually modern sinks have
a knockout for that, looks like a small chrome cup upside-down.
Actually, you should use the vacuum break on any sewer connection from
a dishwasher, keeps from getting backflow and contaminating the
potable water supply. Dishwasher should never drain directly into the
sewer. Codes got strict on that decades back.

Also, be aware that there's a pump in the dishwasher that will retain
water. If the house gets below freezing, likely the pump will be in
pieces, just like one in a clothes washer will. Would need the RV
antifreeze treatment. That's if we're talking summer home here.
