Diswasher water inlet extension

[spud1962]

Does anyone know of a generic "extension" pipe, suitable for the
water inlet pipe of a dishwasher ?

About a meter long would be ok

I imagine I could use a 3/4" male/male brass coupling and a washing
machine inlet pipe, but perhaps there could be something better.

My dishwasher manufacturer has one, but they only sell it in a kit
with an outlet hose for £70 !! (no way, hoseay) pardon the pun!


I can't find one via google.

You haven't given any details of your existing "inlet pipe", but if it's a normal appliance hose then a 2.5m long hose would surely solve your problem:

You beat me to it Softus!

Try this spud1962...

£1.99 at screwfix available in blue or red but there will be delivery of £6 on top of that. Still better than £70!!! Try B&Q Plumbing section. They should have them. Ring first if its a long way to travel.

Thanks guys!

But, for this "extension" to work, one end needs to be "male".
My dishwasher has an "electronic sensor" device at the inlet/tap end
which cannot be removed.

If this is the only way, then i will get one of these with a male/male coupler (see my original post)

I see. Is there any other relevant information that you've been withholding?

You could use a hose as suggested and connect it to wour existing appliance with 2 straight washing machine valves connected end to end with a short piece of 15mm.
Not sure the manufacturer would approve mind.

Bit OTT isn't it

18 pence:

oh, +vat.

Arent washing machine valve threads 0.5inch BSP? So the connector Chris has shown might only be avaliablie in iron.

They're 3/4" bsp, and that one's plastic. I think the usual sheds do them too.
