Run Compact Dishwasher Drain Pipe into Kitchen Sink?
Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2015 5:14 pm
Amazingly I could not find any information about this on the internet!!!
I am renting a flat and the only option I have if I want a dishwasher is to buy a tabletop/compact dishwasher. Because of the layout of the kitchen, the only option I would have is to run the drainpipe into the kitchen sink...i.e.not connected below the sink to the trap, but just running the drain into the main sink from above the work surface where the dishwasher would be placed. Is this feasible? Would I need to make the drain pipe go up and then down or could i run it horizontal along the worktop and then down into the sink for it to work properly?
