Plumbing differently check for the new video

[@erikawestfall1379]

just wanted to let you know this set up helped me so much! i was so stressed out for days trying to figure this out. got all the stuff from your videos for about $30 and set up was so simple. thank you so so so much. :’)

[@Wiretalker]

I’m so glad because I looked before making the video and no easy answers. I knew it was out there and when I solved the puzzle made the video so no one else would have to struggle. You may want to add large rubber washers to the covers and a dab of lock tite to the threads mounting it to keep it better in place they can be found also at Lowe’s.

[@fitter70]

Nice video. Just wondering how did you hook up the drain?

[@Wiretalker]

The fitting I have was already part of a drain fill connection the drain pumps into the sink. If you do not have the dual fill and drain connection then you must put an elbow to hang on the sink that the drain line is plumbed to keep water in the sink that pumps out of the dish washer.

I'm ready to rip my hair out with this adapter BS. Bought a portable dishwasher and apparently no one carries what I need.

[@Wiretalker]

@“remii” I have 2 videos on this project. Inside the comments and in the videos are parts numbers. The parts are available for the large and small quick connects. The reason I made the videos was the hassle of figuring it out and finding parts. I found parts at lowes and ace hardware. I think you can also get parts from Amazon. But figure out which adapter you need large or small. Most good hardware stores carry both.

[@roniM2023]

Sir, you are a genius and have saved my brain and my kitchen- thank you!!! :)

[@Wiretalker]

Your very welcome i post other hacks occasionally and appreaciate the comments

[@koyotestudios4182]

You my friend may have just saved me. I just bought a new house with a pull out faucet that I love and soap dispenser but it doesn't have a dishwasher. I have been desperate to find a way not to get rid of my brand new dream faucet and still have a portable dishwasher. I'll keep you posted if this works.

[@brunoferreira4278]

I've been scratching my head trying to solve the same issue. Thanks for posting!

[@Wiretalker]

Your welcome

[@tangerinethe]

amazing. I had one of those new faucets (that I proudly installed 2 months ago) and now the dishwasher wont connect and NO ONE at ANY store can assist. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Wiretalker]

Your Very Welcome!

[@elizabethcarire9326]

Thanks. This showed me how to connect a counter top dishwasher. I bought 2 dishwasher connector kits and a hot water shut off and was able to use my dish washer without giving up my sink.

[@Wiretalker]

Awesome!!!

[@didjaheard]

Can you please link the items you bought for this set up? I’m trying to replicate but not sure on the exact things I need

[@elizabethcarire9326]

@@didjaheard sorry I literally went to Menards with this video and the helpers told me what to get. They are very helpful. Did a dry fit for me and everything.

[@Wiretalker]

@elizabethcarire9326 curious did they have anything to say about the video?

[@elizabethcarire9326]

@@Wiretalker it was so long ago, but the helper was an older gentleman. If I recall correctly, he thought it was odd but when I explained what it was for and how I intended to use it he thought it was pretty cool/smart. Also I have a question for you. Do you think this set up would work if I installed the shut off valve underneath my sink and used it as a drain line? Currently the set up I have has me draining directly into the sink. And with the force of the water coming out of the line, it splashes off the sides of the sink, over the edge, causing water damage. I temporarily solved this by shoving the hose into the smile of a scubdaddy and shoving it in the drain, it effectively prevents back splash but I was hoping for a more permanent and practical solution. Any thoughts on what to?

[@trappinout18]

I can relate to this guy: spend 40 hours building the perfect dishwasher plumbing configuration but no time for cleaning up the counter.

[@Wiretalker]

If the connection is good on the quick connect should have no issues.

[@sheilacarpenter7709]

Thank you so much!!!

[@CashTheRealest]

Thank you Wire talker

[@Wiretalker]

Your Welcome

[@CashTheRealest]

@@Wiretalker the only part that confuses me on this is how it drains

[@Wiretalker]

@@CashTheRealest most portable dishwashers have a 2 hose system the hot makes a connection by a valve. The drain exits the connector 180 degrees. In a tap on a regular sink that drain would be straight down. In this setup it flows into the sink flowing horizontally steady but without enough pressure to leave the sink. When the connector is on the drain faces toward the front of the sink toward you.

[@CashTheRealest]

@@Wiretalker thank you

[@CashTheRealest]

@@Wiretalker it’s all installed!!!! Works great!

[@jonwatson9950]

I was looking at ways to hook up a portable dishwasher w/o having to attach it to a pull-down faucet. This looks like it could work.

[@Wiretalker]

It has done fine just add a gasket and lock tite to keep it from wiggling loose or leaking around Chrome trim.

[@walterbaldwin3643]

What adapter did you use for spigot ​@@Wiretalker

[@Wiretalker]

It’s a utility spigot for washer in laundry room

[@patriciaR004]

I dont have that wxtra sprayer so i guess im still finding a solution.

[@Wiretalker]

If you have the regular faucet the part with the screen screws off and they make an adapter for dishwashers but there are three types. You could buy all three and return the two that are wrong.

[@karenking3165]

did you ever post the follow up video? this idea is ingenious!

[@Wiretalker]

@KarenKing no sorry I am no longer where I installed that. I know it’s still in use and it works well. The idea also is great for hooking up a water system in greenhouses or for indoor plant watering.

[@bhushanm7839]

Hi.. This seems a feasible way. Do you have a list of the parts needed?

[@Wiretalker]

There are 3 related videos and parts mentioned in videos and comments. There has been some concern about availability but any plumbing sales person worth their salt will be able to help.

[@bhushanm7839]

@@Wiretalker Thank you. I was able to find the list fro one of these videos and.. the dishwasher is now running. Thank you!

[@markconboy8366]

So attaching the 3 way makes it run constant water to the top , and the valve just lets the water on or off ?

[@Wiretalker]

Yes

[@CozyGamer92]

Is this permanent? Could I do this in a rental and replace things back to normal before move out?

[@Wiretalker]

Absolutely with landlord permission. @OhhGlam92

[@highfive7689]

I'm seeing your review a little over a year after. How's the machine working? Thanks so much making your review.

[@Wiretalker]

It worked great and still does. Only change was a gasket out of composite gasket material from auto parts store or some silicone allowed to set before tightening the chrome ring is needed. A little medium Loctite on the nut underneath to keep it snug. Hope that helps.

[@yuriytkachenko2997]

Is there a part number for this valve on top? I cannot find one with inside threads, only outside/male.

[@Wiretalker]

Item #1642694 at Lowe’s is a pair of them but singles should be available at store.

[@kylefrankhouser2639]

Any chance you could link the parts you used to do this?

[@Wiretalker]

The links etc are already in comments and or description

Do you have a link for the adapter you talked about that you had ordered?

@@Wiretalker I found it in a different brand at Home Depot. Thanks so much for making this video!! I was trying to put together pieces for my faucet for so long but this was way super easy and I was able to do it myself without knowing anything about plumbing.

[@Wiretalker]

Great!!!

[@annaskelly4867]

Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve tried to explain what I need to a plumber and I ended up sending this to them. I’m trying to find a similar chrome washer that you used underneath and on top of the sink, but can’t seem to find one that’s similar to what you used. Do you remember where you got yours?

[@Wiretalker]

It’s the chrome ring used on a shower. Made a perfect washer. Thank you for the reply.

[@alandacormier7994]

Why didn't you just uncrew the sprayer off? Thats what I did.

[@Wiretalker]

Good question the sprayer is the valve so the only way that works is if you are not unhooking or moving the dishwasher. Not an option for me. Also my sprayer is on my faucet the hole I used was a soap dispenser.
