I have to run some hoses from the dishwasher over to the sink, which is two+ cabinets away. What should I use? I can't find any premade ones at the hardware store that are long enough. I think in order to run them at the back of the cabinet and clamp them down out of the way (and around corners) that they will both need to be about 13-15 feet long.

It is a new frigidaire machine (manufactured within the last 6 months).

Thanks for any tips.
 
FWIW, I ended up using some pvc. I put threaded couplings at each end to a barbed host fitting and installed the hose and a hose clamp. Not sure if it meets code, but since the part that was going to be burried would have been hose vs pvc, I was looking at a potential hidden disaster waiting to happen. For the water supply, I used soft copper - one continuous run. Been working fine for nearly 4-years now. Run it by your inspector.
 
Check in a marine supply store for bilge pump hose. I think there's a size that will fit, and they come in long coils.
 
7/8 radiator hose is best

just go get 7/8 radiator hose like used on
your car.....

the 1/2 copper should fit tight inside the pipe
and all you got to do is get some radiator clamps to
make it tight....


I hace run it over 15 feet before to the isalnd kitchen sink
in the middle of the room going under the crawl space with it....

should be good for about 35 years.
