Yes, connecting your dishwasher drain hose directly to the inlet port on your garbage disposal is standard plumbing practice and the preferred method in most residential kitchens. This connection allows the disposal's grinding mechanism to pulverize any food particles passing from the dishwasher before they enter your shared under-sink waste drain lines. Prerequisite: Ensure the knockout plug inside the disposal's dishwasher inlet port is completely removed during new installations. Verification: Run a test dishwasher cycle and inspect the inlet connection to verify that wastewater drains smoothly without backing up.
