Wish I'd seen this video much earlier in my attempts to install my new dishwasher. Makes it all seem simple to cut down the pipes to get everything to fit.
Thank you so much for the video. Clear and precise! I've never been too good at the screw together plumbing. Seems it always leaked on me. But I followed you video step by step and not a drip in sight. Today at least. Lol. Thank you again!
I’m having a hard time with that waste arm, where it connects to the P-trap. Because it needs to be angled from my garbage disposal. I can’t get a good seal where it connects to the P-trap.
My dishwasher wasn't draining so i cleaned out the drain hose that connects under the sink. When re-connecting the hose and tightening the clamp i am getting leaking, any tips? Very frustrating i have tried different postilions and not overtightening the clamp. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, some manufacturers have a built in high loop on the side of the dishwasher and don't require a loop inside the cabinet. Check the manual for your model.
@@FIXITHomeImprovementChannel I’m glad a read this. I have mine that drains into the sink but for some odd reason it’s spilling onto the counter tops and flooding everything. (We just moved into a newly renovated house) new appliances haven’t been tested yet. I’m going to check and see if I can make it drain below the sink. Might even use the opening in the sink for a reverse osmosis system if possible.
I just listening to a video that said he called 8 different dishwasher companies and asked them if you could substitute the loop that you put under the sink for the loop they put on the side of the dishwasher..5 companies got back with him and said DO NOT SUBSTITUTE on any of their washers..always put a loop under the sink..the loop on the side of the dishwasher is not a substitute
My dishwasher drainage hows has a black rubber fitting on it that won't come off. The problem is it has a 1" opening that fit the garbage disposal I removed, but the new pvc pipe has a 5/8" branch for the dishwasher hose, so it doesn't fit. Am I supposed to cut the black rubber piece off and buy one that fits both ends?
Hi, go to a hardware store or home center and have them help you with a dishwasher rubber coupling and a barb fitting to make the connection. Check out some home improvement tips in our e-books www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2KW1FQ9
@@FIXITHomeImprovementChannel It's very kind of you to reply, but I figured out the branch comes in 7/8" and that's what I should have bought instead of a 5/8". The garbage disposal I removed was 7/8" where the dishwasher hose previously went into, so I know it will fit. Going to Home Depot tomorrow to exchange the 5/8 for a 7/8.
