Matchless Plumbing An Island Sink And Dishwasher
Measured horizontally in front of the cleanout opening.
Plumbing an island sink and dishwasher. If the garbage disposal is permanently. I am installing a dishwasher in an island where there is no sink. Install an air gap fitting in the countertop or the rim of an adjacent sink.
Attached pictures showing a sink --- just substitue the sink with the dishwasher. Like many regular sinks the drain and water pipes come up from the bottom of the cabinet and are connected to the sink and faucet. Adapt the top of the p-trap to the size of the dishwasher drain or install a Johnson tee on top of the trap.
For the venting -. I like to put in the dishwasher first then the sink. Its the vent that causes the most problems with an island sink.
I have plenty of room for a high loop on the drain hose. I have easy access to the drain from the sink which is about 10 feet away under the floor where the dishwasher is going. This installation is for islands that connect on one side to.
The first thing that you need to before you start the installation process is to turn off water supply completely. Ive been reading about air gaps but if I dont have a sink or no outside wall nearby an air gap seems wrong. Plumb in a p-trap into the sanitary tee branch.
A dishwasher in a kitchen island counter require special provisions for proper venting of the plumbing. Step by step installation process. Route the dishwasher drain hose to the large side inlet of the air gap.
