How to open them, drain look solid, is that the way the connection is? Community manager's note: Check out How to connect a dishwasher for expert advice. Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community RajuTaddi. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a dishwasher to a drain pipe. You'll need to drill the higher spigot out. Take a measurement of the inside of the spigot mouth and hookup up a drill bit similar in size that fits inside it.
Drill out the thin plastic wall that you can see inside at the bottom of the spigot. Be careful only to drill it out and not damage the rest of the pipe. Once you've opened the spigot, you can attach the drain hose from your washing machine with a hookup clamp. Please let me know if you have any questions. Just one more question to understand. Is the spigot always comes like that? And we need to drill a hole to connect any drain pipe? As it is new construction home, just confused whether I should do myself or hire someone, or speak with builder.
That's how drains pipes come, RajuTaddi. You only drill the spigot out when connecting something to it. Otherwise, you'd have an open drain in the drain pipe for no reason.
There's no reason to speak with the builder, but you could hire someone to do the job if you are not confident. Thanks MitchellMc!! Really appreciated for the quick response. Can you connect a 22mm washing machine drain hose to those dishwasher sproggets they look a lot smaller. Might effect outflow of water from machine? Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community ChrisBerlin. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a dishwasher waste hose.
Connecting a 22mm dishwasher and washing machine drain hose to these spigots is commonplace. However, as best practice and if you're concerned, consult your user manual to determine the correct connection method for your machine.
There should be diagrams and instructions for you to follow. If there are warnings that pertain to not restricting the 22mm hose at link, then I'd encourage you to reach out to the manufacturer directly for confirmation on whether connecting to these waste spigots is acceptable.
