How install a dishwasher? Just bought one

Asked Mar 2, 2006, 02:22 PM — 3 Answers
Just bought a dishwasher at homedepot for a really good price, what's involved with installation as I'll be doing this myself.

Any pointers or a step by step?

Thanks,

Was this a floor model without an installation guide? If so, try the manufacturer's web site. Otherwise, you need a hole under the counter big enough for it. You need power, maybe tap into the circuit for some of the outlets. You might even replace a duplex outlet with an outlet/switch combination. Tee off the hot water line for water. I think you can buy PEX compression unions, or it is easy to cut into a CPVC line. Maybe look at some of the 3/8'' flex lines. If you have a garbage disposal, usually they have an inlet for the dishwasher drain. May have to knock out a plug.

More details? Post back.

OPps, sorry. BUt I'm replacing my existing one so everything is there. Can't believe I never included that in my first post!

They're very similar in design just that this one is about 12 years newer
