How do I directly plumb in a portable dishwasher? under the sink? anything I need to do differently?

Answer 1

Hi,

I think I've answered Q's of yours in the past.

The Inlet could be as simple as a "T" connection spliced into the Hot water inlet to the sink.

The drainage connection can be tapped into the sink drain, beyond the sink "P" trap with the approriate size plumbing. Without knowing at all the age of the house; you might have PVC which would make the task easier.

Ah wait, let me back up. "PORTABLE" That suggests to me NO "HARD" connections.

Answer 2

Portable Dishwasher Installation

Answer 3

Are you trying to install it where a permanent installation would be located? If this is the case it will be quit a chore.If it is located at the end of the sink you will be better off to connect it as it is designed.
A permanent installation requires an air gap. This is located on the sink. This is connected to the disposal with a hose. The other line or hose goes to the dishwasher. The water lines are connected under the sink and are copper lines. It only requires one supply line connected to the hot water supply source under the sink. Portables are designed to connect to the spigot on the sink its self. This would need to be converted to a copper line. You might find it would be less expensive to install a permanent dishwasher than a portable. Good luck

Answer 4

Minor differences, install a boiler drain on the hot water line, if you can't solder use compression fittings. Purchase a no-burst hose to connect the boiler drain to the machines hose, install a dishwasher tee in the kitchen drain, secure the drain hose and plugin. You need some way to stabilize the washer, some type of bracket or just block it against the cabinet.

Answer 5

Most portable dishwashers have a hook up that attaches directly to the spigot of your sink, the drain is set directly in your sink.
