Coupler required for dishwasher inlet hose

It depends on how the tube is made.. If its one of those horrible spiral wrap things its hard to joint.. If its one of the other types then a short bit of hose from an aquarium place and a couple of hose clips will do it. Tube comes in different sizes so take a sample with you.

He did say inlet hose, I assume you are referring to the outlet hose which is easily joined, as you say.

they fit 3/4" BSP threads so a 3/4" BSP male x 3/4" BSP male coupler or a suitable length of threaded tube (called a nipple) would do. Ask at a proper plumber's merchants rather than a DIY store.

Or, if you want to go the DIY store route, 2 easily available 3/4BSP to 15mm compression couplings and a short piece of 15mm tube to connect together.

Yup, I used a nylon 3/4 male to 3/4 male fitting, should be able to get them at your local washing machine repair place. They're also available from

Opps, that will teach me to read the title more carefully.

In that case get a 3m length of plastic pipe and a 15 mm push fit coupler and move the tap, much easier.

Cut fittings off, join with short length of copper pipe and two jubilee clips to secure.

Thanks guys! Forgot I posted this thread :-). I didn't mention that I haven't got the dishwasher yet (it's arriving early next week) and if the pipe connection is at the top, it will definately reach. If it's at the bottom, it will be a bit of a stretch. Don't want too much tension as the hose goes to a nasty plastic Y splitter.
