BaGearA Posted April 6, 2023 Share Mr's I have been asked to install a Dishwasher Monday I'm pretty handy ( could almost pass as an electrician ) but my plumbing skills are the sum of replacing 3 toilet fill valves and replacing that bendy pipe under the kitchen sink. So first it looks like 3 things , electrical connection , fill pipe and drainage/discharge pipe I thought it would be 4 cause i was expecting to fit a pipe from the geyser as well but turns out not. Now I have a few questions ( i have not seen the house or dishwasher yet ) Electrical I'm planning to do with 2.5mm multipurpose and an industrial plug to an outlet , issues ? There might not be an opening to connect the discharge to a runoff so would it be a problem if i run the hose over the sink like some older houses do with their washing machines ? Anything else I might not be thinking of ? I'm going to take all the basics with , plumbing tape , hose clamps , adjustable spanners , multimeter , core cutter , screwdrivers ect....

That is an option, but not ideal. If you can get it near a 50mm drain pipe it’s pretty easy to tap into that, you even get T pieces that accommodate the dishwasher outlet into one side on them.

I got a photo now and it seems like there's a drain in the back corner , will just need to plumb the discharge hose to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
