Browse Forums DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair 1 Jul 24, 2013 10:39 am We've just moved into our new house and Us like to connect the dishwasher. Everything seems to be ready except the waste water connection. Well, the little pipe to which the waste should connect to is there too but it is not open, the water can't flow into the sewage. Can I simply still it open? Any ideas what size still to use? Otherwise I'll measure but it's not an easy access. Anything to watch out for? I was told to put the dishwasher house into hot water to make it soft and just push it into the small pipe. Anything special about that? Thanks for any help. Re: Dishwasher plumbing 2Jul 25, 2013 10:11 am You have to drill the hole out to the internal width of the pipe ( around 12mm or so ). A standard drill will do this - it is only PVC pipe. Disconnect the pipe from the sink and take it outside to do this. Then just reconnect to the sink making sure any rubber flanges are in the right place before you tighten the pipe.

I'm looking at my building plans and while there is a dishwasher recess there is no label of any separate outlet? Is there supposed to be one? Re: Dishwasher plumbing 4Aug 13, 2013 5:00 pm There should be a separate cold water tap for the dishwasher in the cabinet beside rather than behind the dishwasher. Waste normally goes into the same drain as your sink as described above. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me I am installing a new Bosch SMU4HTS01A built under dushwasher.
