Appliances (General)

DISHWASHER:

Most homes should have a dishwasher installed. They come in widths of either 18’’ or 24’’. All dishwashers should have finished flooring (wood or, more generally, tile) installed UNDER them so that they may be easily removed for repair or replacement.  Generally, you will only use an 18’’ dishwasher where space in the kitchen is lacking, AND the unit is 2 bedrooms or less.

Dishwashers should be screwed into the countertop to keep them secure, and leveling feet should be used to ensure lack of movement. 

Electrical plugs should be installed. DO NOT hardwire the dishwasher into the wall.  Use an approved plug.

For water installation, use a “t” on the HOT water side of the kitchen supply line in one of the following methods.

Both the plug and the water supply line should be long enough to ensure that the unit can be easily removed. If you need to splice together multiple supply lines, that is allowed, provided that there is not a long enough length (they come up to 6 feet in Stainless braid).

RANGE: 

It should be stainless. We GENERALLY prefer electric ovens, as they are easier to work on. Coil or smooth tops are both allowed and are at the discretion of the contractor to purchase. Stoves will generally use 4 prong connectors, but will occasionally use 3 prongs when the wiring of a house was done before the 1990s.

Please read the plumbing sheet for how to install the water and waste lines for a washer dryer.
