I have a question I would like to ask someone in the know.
I have recently bought a dishwasher and have the hot cold water supplies in place to accomodate the appliance. My question is, regarding the waste/ drainage. My dishwasher will be located directly next to the sink which of course has an existing trap and drainage pipe to the outside. Would I get away with buying a new trap for under the sink with a spigot attachment for the dishwasher waste/drainage or will I have to break through the wall at a lower level and connect the drainage up externally?
My fear is that during dishwasher operation the sink will fill up with the spigot arrangement. Is there any truth in this or will I get away with the spigot idea.
p.s my waste from the trap under the sink is pretty much 90 degree to the ground, externally.
Any help appreciated.
