Installing a dishwasher do it yourself will save you 1200 - 2500 rubles. Work you have to not the most difficult. And yet, if there is no experience, it is better not to risk it and call the master.
But if you purchased a portable PMM, then its installation is easy to make yourself - you just need to attach the water supply hose to the faucet with cold water, and drain the drainage into the sink.
In general, the connection of a dishwasher that is stationary consists of the following steps:
- Installing the LMP in place of operation (and dismantling the old device, if necessary);
- If you bought a built-in dishwasher, then you need to additionally mount it in the furniture and hang it in the facade - here the main difficulty is to correctly mark up the fixings so that the facade is installed exactly.
- Connect the dishwasher to the outlets of the drain and pouring water (if necessary, extend the drain hose);
- Connecting to the outlet (if necessary - electrical work on the installation of the outlet, cable laying);
- Machine level adjustment;
- Check the quality of installation.
If you are confident in your abilities, then let's begin.
What we need
Before you install the dishwasher in a niche under the countertop or connect a stationary model, prepare a tool and plumbing fixtures.
Tool:
- Pliers, and better adjustable wrench;
- Insulating tape (vinyl or x / b), she wrapped a metal thread on the pliers, so as not to damage the fasteners when tightening;
- FUM tape for waterproofing;
- Knife;
- Drill;
- Homukti.
Plumbing fittings:
- Drain siphon with 1 or 2 unions - 2 unions will allow you to immediately connect and eraser;
- Tee carving ¾;
- Filter that provides coarse water purification;
- Ball valve;
- Henk subconnecting pipe.
Connection Features
So, step by step instructions on how to connect the dishwasher in stages:
- In case you install an embedded PMM, then first you need to prepare a niche, which, as a rule, should be 60 cm wide, and for narrow models 45 cm. You also need to drill holes in the cabinet for drainage, water intake hose and for electrical wires.
- Installing a dishwasher under the hob is prohibited;
- The installation site is chosen so that the length of the drain hose does not exceed 1.5 meters. It is allowed to increase the length to 5 meters, but in this case it will be difficult to guarantee the stable operation of the equipment.
- The next step is to connect to electricity. Note that the outlet must be of the type "euro". It is necessary to replace the outlet if it does not meet the standards (but not the plug of the machine). Do not forget that when you connect, we provide security, and the dishwasher has a significant energy consumption. This defines a ban on the use of tees and extension cords. Installation of the outlet involves the use of wires with a diameter greater than 2 mm.In addition, a 16A circuit breaker is additionally mounted in the electrical panel. Grounding is also performed using a 3-wire wire, and it cannot be brought to the pipes.
- Next - connect the dishwasher to the water supply. To do this, the water is blocked, a tee is attached to the pipe, then a filter, a ball valve and a henk. All threaded joints are isolated with a fumka - it must be wound at least 10 layers.
It is also obligatory to install a coarse filter, as it will not allow sand or rust from a water pipe to enter the machine.
- As for the connection of the equipment to the sewage system, here you can go a simple way by installing a siphon with an additional tap and valve. In order to protect the device from water ingress from the sewer pipe, it is necessary to place the drain hose in a special way - at the point of outlet to the sewer network it is placed at a height of 600 mm along the wall and then bent to ensure water flow.
- The final step in connecting the dishwasher is checking the device for operation. In this case, the machine is idle, controlling the rate of water flow, its heating, as well as work in the drying mode. The test is carried out without dishes, but with the obligatory addition of regenerating salt and detergents.

I would not advise you to use pliers for tightening, you will not tighten well anyway. It is better to take a wrench, and that the ba does not scratch the nuts, gaskets made of thin cardboard.
I bought a dishwasher a week ago, made a present for my wife. But as it turned out the purchase is only half the story, because it still needs to be connected.) I have never done this, what should I do? I had to google, got on this article, thank you, it took a lot of information. And it turned out that it is not so difficult)
Made a gift to mom. With my dad, we first wanted to call the appropriate specialist, but after reading these instructions and remembering that my father had worked all his life at a construction site, the installation was carried out on his own. Thank!
They even managed through a tee to combine washing machine and PMM plums.
fine!
Of course, pliers are not the best tool, but you can use them if there is nothing else.
In general, an excellent article, it is a pity that I did not get it when I mounted my PMM
