1. DISHWASHER

The majority of built-in dishwashers come in only two sizes: 24 inches wide and 18 inches wide, both sized to fit under a standard 25-inch-deep and 36-inch-high counter. (Be sure to get a built-in dishwasher, not a portable one, which uses temporary connections at a sink tap and outlet.) Look for the Energy Star label on any model you buythe criteria for dishwashers became more stringent in January 2007.

2. 3/8-TO--INCH BRASS ELBOW

to make the turn from the dishwasher's inlet to the copper supply line. This is a standard part for dishwashers and may be included in a dishwasher installation kit.

3. TEFLON TAPE

4. -INCH SOFT COPPER TUBING

to bring water to the dishwasher. (The measurement refers to the pipe's outside diameter.) A 10-foot coil should be plenty.

5. TWO -INCH COMPRESSION FITTINGS

The number also refers to outside diameter. Each includes a brass ferrule (or compression sleeve) and a compression nut.

6. ELECTRICAL WIRE NUTS to connect wire ends.

Get ones that will fit two 12-gauge wireseither yellow or red.

7. CABLE CLAMP

to secure the electrical cable to the junction box on the dishwasher.

to attach the dishwasher's 58-inch https://cacontractorhangouts.wordpress.com/
