We had this discussion in Code class a while back. I think we decided it was a listing issue. That's where I came up with the idea for a bumper sticker or sign-off quote: Just cuz it works doesn't make it legal or safe.

I don't know of any code violation, but it seems a poor design, IMO. I'd personally prefer a 20-amp circuit running to the dishwasher and disposer switch, leaving the dishwasher with unswitched power.


+1 on this... IMHO

I would have to agree with Doug and Dave on this one. Why not just bring power up to your disposal switch from the dishwasher receptical, then bring a switch leg to the disposal. Still one switch. Besides that all of the dishwasher controls are located at the dishwasher, not from some remote location. I do believe this will make for a much cleaner installation. Just think if at a much later date the receptical went on the blink and the homeowner or who ever replaced it without noticing the original tabs were removed. mmmmmmmmmm could serve for an interesting evening.
