Discuss Does my dishwasher waste require a trap/ubend in the USA area at PlumbersForums.net

In my boredom I thought I would renew the 40 mm dish washer waste piping. It basically goes from inside the kitchen through the outside wall and discharges into the gate/gully under the kitchen sink using 40mm pipe and elbows but no u bend/trap.
Its clearly not connected directly to the sewer and so my question is do I need to fit a bend/trap which I assume is to prevent sewer gases leaking into the house but the gully/grate u bend does that.
Much appreciated

The water in a U bend will stop sewer smells, wind and rodents, do you need one or not is your choice.

I have an Ikea sink with trap however the waste fkexi hose does not connect to the 1 1/2 white waste pipe. Is there any fitting I can get to connect the two together or should I use normal traps and bends from the holes in the sink.
