Re: Adding my washer to under the sink.

Hi @Jas8485 

 

You  are absolutly correct the inner  nozzle is designed to be blocked so it wont leak into cupboard with out a dishwasher installed and it stops the drain smells  coming out too

 

So all you need to do is gently  put a drill bit that neatly fits down the nozzle inside diameter hole an drill it out. A slightly smaller hole will work just as good please  be gentle and slow on your drill.

 

Remember to take your dishwasher hose up higher (than the drain point ) on its way  to the drain point so water flows  properly from your dish washer.

 

Your dishwasher instructions  will help yuo there. :smile:

Re: Adding my washer to under the sink.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Jas8485. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a dishwasher.

It's wonderful to see that @Jewelleryrescue has already assisted. You'll also need a hose clamp to fix your hose onto the barb. This just ensures that it doesn't blow off under pressure.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
