How to connect Bosch freestanding dishwasher series 6 to water inlet?

How to connect this water inlet for the Bosch dishwasher to the water outlet. The ring size in the dishwasher hose is bigger than the water outlet pipe and also it does not have an additional opening. Really appreciate your guidance on this.

@Manojsbishtau 

When I worked at the big green shed and in plumbing we had questions and problems like this all the time, due to the fact the outlet cold is close to the wall you may have issues installing a 3 way splitter on but what I suggest is taking a measurement between the back of the cabinet and the nut of the current hose and head on in to your local Bunnings. If you can install a 3 way Brass T piece or Y piece, then possible 15 to 20mm adapter. 

Brass Fittings 

 

Other scenario is to put a small 15mm flex hose on so you can get it away from the wall then the T or Y piece.

 

But Your Local should have the fittings there including a dishwasher hose with that fitting on it to compare just ask one of the Team Members for help.

Hi @Manojsbishtau,

 

I believe @Jewelleryrescue is on the money there, and the Brasshards 15 x 20mm Chrome Loose Nut 2 Way Under Sink Tap should solve your issue. You'll need a plumber to install it, but once they have, it allows you to have the current 15mm hose connected and then provides an additional 20mm screwed fitting for your larger washing machine hose.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
