I bought a dishwasher the other day and when it arrived it seems to plumb it in I need something called a spigot. I've tried Homebase and Wicks, but they didn't seem to have one. Where can I get one, or is there something else I can use?

Go back to home base and look for a u bend undersink waste trap with a side entry spigot on it this looks like a little protruding pipe sticking out of the side with a little red cap on it you replace your existing waste trap under sink and when fitted you remove the red cap and push the hose from the dishwasher onto it , i would also use a jubilee clip on hose for extra security.

If you are speaking of the drain, you need a dishwasher tailpiece that is piped between the sink and trap, the drain hose from the dishwasher is clamped to the outlet.If you are speaking of the water supply, which is generally the spigot, you can use a standard garden hose valve piped to the water supply and connect a braided steel dishwasher hose to the appliance, to be blunt, it doesn't seem that you have the knowledge to do this. A decent handyman could do this for you. Good Luck!

A spigot is a faucet or a water spout. If there is not one available for the dishwasher to plug into, you will need a plumber to install one.

Take your installation sheet with you to any hardware store, or to a building center, like Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, and ask for help in the plumbing department.
Don't leave until you're satisfied with your purchase and your answers.

Sealing with silicone probable gained't paintings both. locate some that you'll are threaded that you'll in fantastic condition rubber washers from the plumbing branch on. some Teflon tape on the threads and tightening a rubber washing gadget down tight son each aspect of the field ought to paintings ok. i imagine i'd opt for brass or copper even with the truth that, they delay and wont by coincidence damage or fail. those made up of plastic are susceptible to breakage and failure. you'd be money ahead in the longer time period to purchase them really of the plastic ones. copper and brass ones also meet the criteria for nutrition merchandising, if it truly is what you've in innovations.

Hmm- That seems to be the kind of thing you might find in Lowe's or Ace. Or most stores that sell bathroom fixtures.
Good luck!
