thanks Terry. So just dangling in there a few inches? I'm doing a test rinse now.
I gave up on that valve and just using the new setup with the T valve I installed. Could've saved about £40 by paying a bit more attention. lesson learnt
Thanks. How do i make the hose a tight fit? Won't odours come back up otherwise?
- the water valve is really tight. I'm breaking the plastic trying to turn it. (turning it the correct way)
Terry. You'll never believe it. After all that fuss I found this in the cupboard next to where the new dishwasher would go. Can you tell me what waste hose would fit this standpipe? I'm guessing that's what the standpipe is for.
ok, after spending money and spending ages re-sorting out the pipe work under the sink, i've discovered there was already a waste pipe and water valve ready for a new dishwasher installation...
BUT
1. The valve is not opening. Do these levers lock? It's in a new-build flat and looks untouched...
What's the best way to turn this into a tee / Y so that it can feed both a dishwasher and washing machine?
This would be the replacement right? https://www.screwfix.com/p/compression-appliance-tee-brass-x-x-15mm/24030
Will that screw directly onto the existing valve?
Thanks
How about this? Oh is that too high?

I found this one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-twin-hose-connector-40mm/206hr
Looks like it could fit the bill?
Is it recommended to use any solvent or putty etc?
