Replacing old Dishwasher part 2 question?
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. Do I have to replace copper tubing now to match up, or can a rubber hose section work? ITs probably hot water coming into the dishwater, so rubber tubing isnt a good idea. |

You are better off with copper but they offer braided flexible supply lines
at places like Home Depot. These are good for DIY. Make sure you get the right size and you'll need a tubing cutter and thread sealer to finish the job. If you go with this method keep the flexible line away from any uninsulated terminals that are under the dishwasher. http://www.eshop.msn.com/marketplace...187&catId=1905 "PointNot" wrote 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.

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. http://www.repairclinic.com/referral.asp?R=153&N=959346 Dishwasher Installation Kit - Has everything you need to connect your dishwasher to your waterline, including a 6-foot braided stainless steel waterline, a 3/8-inch compression union, an "L" fitting, a "T" fitting, a spool of teflon tape, two wire nuts and two wood screws. jeff.
