Hey great video! This evening I purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher. My waterline is half inch but as you stated the whirlpool IN threaded hole looks to be one inch? I guess I'll be needing a half inch to one inch 90 degree elbow. I was given a dishwasher connection kit that is supposed to fit ALL dishwashers...apparently not whirlpool. I've been looking on line for it as Lowes is now closed. I hope when I show up tomorrow that they will carry this elusive 90 degree elbow. Thanks again, Tim

Thank you so much~ I have been online for two days just trying to understand how to install my "new" but previously used dishwasher that was given to me. My concern was that I had all of the parts that were needed. More specifically how to safely connect the electrical part of the installation. You set an excellent example of how anyone sharing information of expertise should follow.
I am especially impressed with the time and care that you took to ad in important safety concerns ( a trait that is obviously passed down from your grandfather who took the time to cover all aspects of the installation process - referencing the red napkin.... Clever and thoughtful.) We are lucky to have you share your knowledge with us and treasure knowing that we can trust that the information is golden. In short - YOU ROCK!!!!

Absolutely informative!
Question, The drain hose dropping out from the high loop, does it sag down into the sink base and then curl back up to the air break? Or is it a short extension out from the high loop hole and into the air break without dropping down into the sink base?

@Time2Rath I'm sorry it took me so long to get back with you on this! I don't quite understand the question. You may have already solved this but if not feel free to email me through the website and I will give you my phone number so we can figure it out. Again sorry for the delay.

Hello Sir, Very helpful video! Just wondering if I should have a separate valve for the dishwasher in case of down the road, it breaks and I have to shut off the water, I will still have water coming into the sink.

@dmpejr Maybe in the event that you do remove the dishwasher that may be a good idea, but you can also buy a 3/8 cap fitting to close off the dishwasher supply side. Most dishwashers are plumbed with a double outlet valve, so I wouldn't worry about it. Thanks for the comment!
