Default dishwasher install

Hi,

I don't know what to do first. I want to have a dishwasher.
The problem is when my house was built, I failed to tell the
builder to include a dishwasher space, where I can just install
my dishwasher. My house is now 2 years old and I can't run after
the builder now.

I think I have a rough-in for dishwasher pipe/ or something for
dishawasher to hook-up to. But I don't have an empty space where
I can put my dishwasher. I have to free up one of my kitchen cabinets
and make a hole on the rest of cabinets?

Who should I call about this? plumber? contractor?


I would go with a Contractor, Maybe a Cabinet shop. Get As close as
possible to the sink You can run your water and waste behind the cab.The
water and waste are easy Put a angle stop with outlets on the Hot water. The
waste goes to a air cap on the sink and then to the Disposal.


I'm curious what is an air cap? My disposal hose
currently and on the previous disposal ran
directly to a fitting on the disposal. I just
finished fixing a sink for another person (leaks,
etc.) and the drain went directly to a fitting on
the sink drain pipe (just below the sinking basket
(not disposal).
