Hi all, am reviving this old thread since it pertains to exactly what I am doing.
If I am reading it correctly it is permissible to connect a DW via a correctly sized cord with a plug, and plug it into an outlet in an adjacent cabinet - in this case the sink base, or in an outlet mounted in the wall with the rear of the cabinet cut out for access to the outlet.
If I chose to surface mount a box to the inside of the cabinet is it permissible to simply bring the feed wire through a hole in the drywall and cooresponding hole in the cabinet (this seems like an inelegant way of doing things).
Same question pertains to the garbage disposal - can I also connect it to an outlet via cord and plug, or must it be hard wired?
Finally, must the dishwasher and disposal be on completely seperate circuits?
Many thanks,
Dan
