HNY All,

I am not too DIY minded but am too tight to pay, could someone please tell me how to fit a dishwasher into my kitchen.

Cheers

You need to know if it is a hot& cold feed or cold only. You then need to have a supply feed complete with valve.. next you need sparks. Then you need a waste drain pipe. This must be a t the correct height and with a ubend in it. Unless you go for the kithen sink drain method which isnt the best.


Good Luck

Normally, cold water feed is all that is needed, so a T-piece somewhere off the kitchen cold tap feed should do...

I fitted the waste pipe into a suitable kitchen sink trap ie one that has a push-fit connection for external devices

To do a proper job you need to cut pipes, solder in T-pieces, fit a stop valve etc - if you don't fancy that:
- pay a plumber
- I think that 'diy' install kits exist that pierce the cold water pipe automatically, but personally I'd only want the proper job

...oh, and an accessible 13A mains socket

Dont bother with the clamp and pierce kits - they're hopeless in my experience. I fitted one then ripped it out in favour of a compression fitting. That's the way I'd do it - but you need to have room to flex the pipe to get the 'T' in.

Dont listen to Goochie either plumbed it into the gas pipe lmao
