I need some help with plumbing 2 dishwashers both supply and drain. First time ever doing 2(in one kitchen anyway
They will both be located next to each other on the left side of the sink.
I am unclear on how to tackle this setup. All the dishwashers I have plumbed have had their supply fed from a second valve under the sink base and the drain line piped with flex tube into the sinks drain line.
I also have done one house where the d/w drain line had it's own drain/trap in the sink cabinet that was setup like a washing machines drain. The flex tube just went into that.
I am unclear how I would deal with the plumbing for the unit furthest away from the sink and even the one closest.
I am above basement and have access to plumb this how ever is necessary....within reason.
1.) I like having access to a shut off supply valve under the sink, incase of emergency. Can I or should I plumb 2 stops under the sink, one for each d/w and then run supply to each unit using flex braided SS? Or should I install hardpipe to behind each unit and simply have a shut off valve located under the sink?
2.) What is the optimal/proper way to run drainage for these units? Is it still back out the sink trap/drain? Can each d/w have it's own drain line?
Thanks
