can a rubber hose section work?

ITs probably hot water coming into the dishwater, so rubber tubing
isnt a good idea.


Hi,

can a rubber hose section work?


Never! Don't!

The water supply line to the old dishwasher is copper tubing, now the
copper tubing doesnt match up to the new inlet water area on the new
dishwasher.


Can it be bent/manipulated to match the new one?

If you replace it use a SS line as they are flexable and very easy to
work with.
