No background music. No graphics. No nonsense. Pure legit valuable information.
Buddy had the gangsta snap on those glasses 😂
Lol
Plumber by day gangsta by night lol
I came to the comments section immediately after seeing that 🤣
Right lmao. Then fuckers snap together loud
@@M-X39462 same 😂😂😂
Thanks! I just did this in my old house and out of all the internet, this video was the most helpful!!! I did hire a plumber to tap my old supply line, but I felt comfortable doing the rest myself. 👍
Richard is the best : explains clearly, shows and educate brilliantly
This chap has a soothing voice. Could teach me stuff all day long.
I've said it before, but wow! What a wealth of knowledge and experience that the pro's on TOH possess! Not only are they incredibly gifted in their fields but they also have tremendous charm and personality!
Thank you to all of the pro's and to TOH!
So our home was built in 1928. It still has all original woodwork and cabinets (which is why I fell in love with it) but no dishwasher. Being the mom of 4, and having to work and take care of home I realize how much I truly miss having a dishwasher. Thank you for this video. Great job!
They make portable dishwashers my parents bought one 60 years ago.

Is it just me, or did that sink not have a P-trap?
4:18 cool magnetic glasses.
I didn't know they made glasses like that.lol
4:20
Smooth to black, ribbed to white, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!
jerzsubbie it doesn't matter one bit. It's ac.
It's matters for safety reasons. Typically the hot is switched not the neutral so when things are turned off they are also de-energized. The neutral is ground referenced so it's unlikely to give you a shock. If you reverse the polarity, all the parts in the appliance will remain live at 120v even when off.
You could also follow each wire back to the plug and see which side is the smaller prong. Smaller prong = hot
Lol I traced the wire... since right side is hot
You can also plug it in to an outlet and use a voltage tester to see which wire is hot.
came here to learn about plumbing, left seeing the coolest glasses ever
This was a great episode! Im so thankful great people take time to make these videos for us!!
Just watched this, so helpful! We got a quote to install the dishwasher under our sink that has never had any dishwasher. Unfortunately, the charge was too high that we can't afford it. So I sure hope we could follow this, it looks so simple and easy to follow and install the coming dishwasher 🙏😊🤪
Remember what the 3 Stooges said, "Who says you have to be smart to be a plumber?"
@@AStanton1966 I love those guys
Did you do it?
This is so easy! I want to add a dishwasher to my mom's old house that also doesn't have a garbage disposal! Thank you so much!
Excellent video. I love seeing demonstrations done the RIGHT way. Well done!
Done the right way? Not sure what third world plumbing code this guy is working to doing an installation on a sink without a p-trap? NOT!!!
Very good how to. Learned a lot by watching it, don't think I'll need a plumber to install my new one after watching this.
Good video. Would have been nice to see how to hollow out the cabinet though
This video was perfect just what i needed!
I love Ask This Old House! Great, informative tv show.
This was so well explained. Thank you!
4:20.. Those glasses are pimp
You know things are getting real when Richard puts them on.
great tip on the power and smooth side wire being hot
That was the best video yet for dishwasher install
excellent educational video, thanks...
Thanks a ton, after this video I installed my new dishwasher myself.
Excellent teaching Sir... thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤙🏾
Great informative video!
I feel like I could do this myself now.
Thank you so much for telling me about the 3 grey wires on the supplier cord
very professional video good job
Fantastic explanation thank you!
Thank you! This helped me so much!
Wow thank you for this video, seems very easy
This is a great tutorial!
very simple and useful explanation. ..thanks. .
Carlitos Carlitos T ?
So helpful!! thank you!
Excellent, thanks for the tutorial.
4:23. Boss has magnetic glasses
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Thanks guys!
Thnks a lot for posting this.
I believe that’s my problem. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!
So helpfull thanks you!!!
Awesome video! Thanks :)
That was well done 👍🏾
Very informative great job
incredible glasses
Always exceptional instruction/demonstration Richard. Thank you !
where did you connect the outlet hose on the dishwasher? And did it come with the outlet hose? TIA
Probably going to do this as well nice information on video thank you so much
Very helpful
Professional 👍🏼
Amazing!
Thank you!!
I'm surprised that Richard didn't add the water trap for the sink, the pvc just did a 90 degree with no water trap. Great video though, love this show
I have an LG washer and dryer. I recognized that jingle immediately lol.
Awesome tutorial Buddy!! I have a question how much does it cost to install a dishwasher
This guy is the real mvp.
Wow you did an Amazing job that Anyone con do this!!!
Great video...gonna try this with my son...I know we can do this!
How did it go?
If she didn't answer you, maybe she's under water?
Thanks Kelly! Now make me a samich.
Thanks 🙏
5:43 when you go for the fist bump but they're just not feeling it.
lol
i think he was going to point to the electrical box but bailed because she was already on it.
He was just pointing at the outlet saying to plug it in. And Besides, Tommy is the fist bump guy.
Dang I have had a dishwasher in my mud room since 2013. Still not installed. I’m showing my husband this video
Why rush things.
Or do it yourself.
I liked this video. Very nice explanation.
Raising Hope Love
Nice that theirs lots of room under the sink, it’s not usually like that.
Of course there's lots of room, look how much they saved by not having a trap in there!
Silly question. Was that part of the counter sawed away to make it fit?
So far most detailed vid ive watched. But water looked like it went to thr floor. Why couldn’t it go up like the drain hose? Because i have to drill a hole through the cabinet. And does it have to the hot water? Doesnt the dishwasher heat up the water to the appropriate temperature for pots or dishes?
OK I watched 3 of these videos and this one is the clearest. This might be the one that helps me install a dishwasher finally. Moved into my place 10 years ago and quickly upgraded my cabinets and countertops and left gap for a dishwasher. Never filled it in.
Did you succeed?
@@flat-earther Yes installed a nice Samsung dish washer. No problems since. Easy install.
Why doesn't the sink drain have a water trap for sewer gas?
Richard wouldn't make that mistake so it must be somewhere down below. Maybe the explanation was edited out? Weird plumbing if you ask me.
Was thinking the exact same thing myself. It was missing when they started, but didn't add one in when they retrofitted... wonder why.
It's probably in the basement, just below the floor.
A drum trap was located in the basement; see 13:00min in full episode. If you put a P-trap again under the sink, it becomes S-trap which is not acceptable per code.
ok
Looping the dishwasher drain hose up, fixed the sewage smell I'n my dish washer. Fixed now!
Having a P-trap under your sink will also prevent sewer gas smell. But he obviously doesn't notice that it does not have a P-trap. I'll say it again he's a hack
@@guitar1301 The other hack
thing is installing the dishwasher so that the control panel still shows. That’s supposed to be hidden under the lip of the counter top. It’s supposed to be concealed when the dishwasher is closed. That drives me crazy. I’ve seen it in a few videos on CZcams. I’m having one installed next week and now feel like I need to make sure the installer doesn’t do that to it.
@@guitar1301 I noticed that too, but Richard is anything but a hack.
I don’t see a p trap under her sink. Is there a trap under the house? I’m putting in a dishwasher in my home that was built in 1971 it’s got it own p trap and drain. I think your video is great . I did learn a couple of things.
0:50 In Europe the ferrule is called "compression olive"
I may try adding a dishwasher to my kitchen now!
My husband and I are in the process of buying our first home. A beautiful 1941 brick cottage in a lovely historic downtown district. We can't wait to make it our home, but we will need to put some elbow grease into it to make it perfect for us. This channel is going be our lifeline as we move through projects. Thank you!!!
Question, though: how do you know if there is a power source and water hookup in the place where you want to install the dishwasher? I assume you can typically just look and tell, but our house has a wall-attached cabinet where we would like to install the dishwasher so I can't tell without pulling said cabinet out.
Did you succeed? You can connect water lines to existing faucet lines with the 3 way shut off valve Richard used in this video.
time: 4:20 I love those snap in the middle glasses.
Where’s the P-trap for this sink?
Some old houses have an entire house ptrap instead
@@xxjusxstarxx My point was that Rich being a master plumber, should’ve commented about it not having a P-trap or explained why it didn’t need one, if that’s the case.
@@Watch-Me-Nowthat's a valid point
Another great video By this old House!
Not supposed to reuse a compression fitting. I would have replaced it.
There is no P trap. Did Richard mention anything about that?
He didn't mention it in this video. But there's a good chance there's a basement under this home, so there's an easy to access area where they may have put a trap underneath the floor between the floor joists similar to what's under a shower or tub. Hopefully!!!
Richards body of work is top shelf.
We also use his term of "good" as a drinking game trigger. Great vids for sure man !
Except for the flexible power cord deal. Must be a regional thing. Rich never actually shows how to power the appliance on the plug side
Insert plug, I believe. (cause he talked about the polarized plug).
I noticed there was not P trap under the sink, is it installed under the floor or was it missing?
Some particularly old houses have a single large P trap for the entire house, that is my guess.
Dishwasher are handy to have.
And handwashers are dishy to have...
Maxid1 A lot of people with dishwasher do the dishes when they go to bed, or when they leave for work in the morning.
656fA@ scarce
Why wouldn't you put a P trap on that? Is the sink, DW properly vented? Air gap?
So you only put it in the hot water ? No cold water?
No bottom trim panel on the dishwasher?
I noticed that there's no trap under the sink. Is there one under the floor or something like that?
I noticed that too, I have an atmospheric vent instead of a roof vent for mine
Presumably the drain pipe terminates in a p-trap to a vented stack in the basement, just like bathtubs, showers, and toilets do.
2:10 - Not the topic of this video, but there's no p-trap on that sink. Is the trap somewhere else in the system? (I'm assuming that wouldn't meet modern code.)
Very helpful thanks. In australia our dishwashers only have 3 connections and all 3 originate at the back of the appliance. Cold water in, drain out and a 10a 240v lead and plug. Too easy. You guys make a simple task so complicated.
A.S Enfield lol I don’t know if you watched the video, but the dishwasher has a hot water tap, a drain line, and a electrical plug. I’m confused what is so different/ complicated here?
iLikeC00kieDough I think the point is the electrical connection is an IEC plug not bare wires connected by those pathetic and dangerous wire nuts (which are illegal in Australia). And it is all at the back not the front.
Whilst it doesn’t make a difference to installation per se we also connect cold water not hot, with the dishwasher heating it as required. We also have very strict temperature limits on our “hot” water. If a tankless hot water heater is used the maximum temp is 55’ C and if a tank it think it is now 60’ C. The tank temp is hotter though to kill bacteria etc and is brought down via a tempering valve.
In the US it’s actually simpler. It’s just a hot water line. Why would you need a cold water line on a dishwasher?
@@bcbock Their's heat the water. It is supposed to save energy, but it's minor if any.
"Normally I'd use a 24" crescent or pipe wrench but all I've got with me is this inadequate 12" wrench but I think I can get this very large 3/8" fitting tight enough".
No trap on the sink?
Good video. Where i live disheashers are hard wired.
The Man's Garage I've seen that in most installations. My Aunt Dawn had a dishwasher installed like this, but to a traditional drain pipe setup. A gfci outlet was installed under the sink
If smooth os "Live" then what are other 2 wires? I don't want to assume green is still green... could someone please be so kind as to specify?
I isolate it and add another shutoff for the dishwasher. Those are notorious for problems and then you have to shut your sink down too. If you have renters add a shutoff for the unit
Someone please help. I am planning on buying a house soon. Starting the process. A lot of houses in my area, and in my budget, do not have dishwashers. My question is this: how hard or easy is it to put a dishwasher into a kitchen where there was none before? Does it require a complete remodel of the kitchen? Does it require tearing down walls? Or is it pretty much what this guy is doing by just making some adjustments to the pipes and electrical? Because I will buy a house if it doesn't have a dishwasher if it's fairly easy and cost effective to put one in. Obviously I know a cabinet will have to come out to be replaced by the dishwasher.
Happy Lady.
Would love to see the 4 hour video of this installation.
Shouldn't take more that 2 hours at the MOST. I can do it in that time, including a new breaker/circuit from the panel.
I had my plumber install my dishwasher. It took them about a half hour. But they had already added a dedicated valve for the washer when I redid the cabinets and sink. So everything was planned out. It takes longer if you have to do a lot of modifications. For example, a dishwasher needs a dedicated GFCI outlet in my area. And we had to have a separate one for the disposal. We also had to have an air gap installed in the sink as our city doesn’t allow the high loop shown in these videos. But since it was a remodel, that wasn’t a problem. But it could take you a lot longer.
I noticed the finished floor was missing on back right corner, did you add a small piece of 1/4 " or 3/8 to accommodate that difference, or does it not matter in the back?
Dick Reed The unit should be supported front and back. If the back feet can screw down far enough to reach the floor then it's fine. Otherwise, some kind of blocking/flooring is needed. The other reason it's good to have the floor go under the machine is that it's easier to spot a leak if one develops.
Where's the vent and p trap for the kitchen sink 🤔
Exactly what I said
The p trap is in the basement
Hey Richard!!! Why didn;t you put a trap on that "trapless" drain????????
Does it just require hot water, no cold water correct?
A dishwasher must have a gcfi, but must it be a dedicated circuit?
3:16 that a little cross threaded?
Pro-tip. If it's cross threaded you don't need loc tite.
