When plumbing in a dishwasher, it's key to ensure you have the right setup in place. Typically, you'll need a power point, a water supply, and a drain pipe - similar to what you'd need for a washing machine. If you're replacing an old dishwasher, all the necessary plumbing should already be in place. However, if you're installing one in a location without existing plumbing, you'll need to call in a plumber to extend or redirect the old plumbing.
To plumb a dishwasher, firstly you'll need to shut off the mains water supply. If there isn't a nearby ball valve, also known as an isolation valve, to control the water in that specific area, things can get complicated. Some properties lack isolation valves entirely, leaving all the pipes live - this should be taken into consideration. In homes with a water tank in the loft, it may also be necessary to drain the system before beginning.
