Hi
I want to put a dishwasher where fridge currently resides.
I’m considering doing this myself, but wanted some advice first. See on photo that there is a water pipe, which comes from outside (to right), goes behind cooker to sink. There’s a waste pipe coming from sink, behind cooker then to outside, but is buried in wall behind fridge.
I’ve seen these self cutting taps and waste drains. (See attached)
Seemed like a fairly straightforward job until I realised I would have to chisel out around the waste pipe and water pipe to get these fitted. Also seemed simpler than drilling a hole to outside and putting separate waste pipe in.
The waste would attach to a spigot, as opposed to a stand pipe, and it’s made for a washing machine, so maybe not appropriate for dishwasher drain.?
I thought the gap between sink and dishwasher would be too long to plumb to there, but perhaps I can swap washing machine to warm feed, and attach dishwasher to cold?
Lot’s questions, and a bit daunting, so any advice (apart from the obvious of paying for someone else to do it as a last resort) would be massively appreciated. Thanks
