Cove Dishwasher Plumbing Requirements

Topics:

  • Cove Dishwasher plumbing requirements

Troubleshooting:

  1. Find the water supply and drain in an adjacent cabinet.
  2. Route the water supply through the shaded area shown in the illustration below.
  3. Connect the water supply line to a hot water house supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between the supply and the unit.
    • IMPORTANT NOTE: This appliance is intended for connection to a hot water supply. Water lines cannot be exposed to freezing temperatures.
  4. Purge the water line before final connection to the unit.
    • This will remove any debris that may be present in the tubing from installing the new water line.
  5. Connect the braided tubing from the unit to the house water supply line with the fitting provided.
  6. Check all water line fittings for leaks.

Answer:

Installation must comply with all applicable plumbing codes. Any opening into the adjacent cabinet must meet the following: the longest dimension of the opening shall not be more than 1-1/2" (38).

  • This is a new agency requirement.
  • The size of the opening for the drain line cannot exceed 1-1/2" at any point, regardless of the shape of the hole.
