installing dish washer

september18

Hi All, I live in a typical semi-detached house about 8 years old now and in the kitchen under the work top I have a washing machine. Beside it are the usual drawers for cutlery and pots and pans. Now here is the qusetion... I want to knock out the drawers and move them elsewhere and install a dish washer. Is it a big job to install one? The washing machine already is using up the hot and cold connections and waste pipe (u shape ) stuck in where it should be. Im fed up with been stuck at the sink!!!Thanks and of course Happy New Year to All!!!

Sounds like a pretty handy job to do. You can get a Y type connection off the shelf which will sort your cold water supply, the hot is not used. Merging the two waste pipes shouldn't be much harder although I'm not sure whether you might have to make some form of joiner yourself or get something from a plumbing suppliers. Obviously you can do a spot of proper plumbing cutting and joining etc., but I'm presuming you want to do it with a minimum of hassle.

It's simple, all you need is a cold water supply and a waste pipe- of which you have both! Just make sure that the unit the drawers are being taken out of is the same width as the dishwasher itself.
