Water requirements
The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide between
Use l/2” O.D. copper tubing or 3/8” galvanized pipe inlet line. Dishwasher inlet valve has 3/8” internal pipe thread.
Drain requirements
Product Damage
9The drain line connection to the house plumbing must be a minimum of 20” above the floor. A lower drain connection may result in siphoning.
9 If the drain is routed to a connection point less than 20” above the floor, the drain line must form a loop 20” above the floor. See Figure 5, Page 4.
l Do Not kink hose and copper tubing.
Failure to provide either a 20” mlnlmum connection height or a 20” high loop will result in improper drainage and may cause product damage.
The drain hose should be 9/l 6” minimum ID flexible hose or
5/8” OD copper tubing. A minimum of 22” flexible drain hose or a 12” length of copper drain line with 12” length of flexible hose added is needed. Flexible hose, resistant to heat and detergent, can be found at plumbing, hardware or automotive supply stores. Do Not use a drain line or fittings less than l/2” ID.
If drain line Is copper, clamp a 12” length of g/16” ID flexible, heat and detergent resistant hose to end of copper drain line to connect to dishwasher valve.
