This dishwasher tailpiece is the under-sink drain section that carries wastewater from the sink strainer down to the trap while giving a dishwasher a dedicated, code-friendly place to drain into the same line. Measuring 1-1/2 inches by 12 inches, it fits standard kitchen drain assemblies, and its molded branch inlet accepts the dishwasher drain hose so the appliance discharges into the sink waste instead of a separate connection. The 17-gauge tube wall gives it real body -- more resistance to crushing and thread wear than thin economy tailpieces -- for a connection that holds up under repeated service. It is the straightforward way to tie a dishwasher into an existing sink drain during a new install or a replacement.
Key Features:
- Dedicated Dishwasher Branch -- Molded inlet accepts the dishwasher drain hose so the appliance discharges cleanly into the sink waste line.
- Full 1-1/2 in. x 12 in. Sizing -- Matches standard kitchen sink drain assemblies for a direct, no-adapter fit.
- Heavier 17-Gauge Wall -- Thicker tube resists crushing and thread wear far better than thin economy tailpieces.
- Ties Sink and Appliance Together -- Routes both the sink drain and the dishwasher discharge into a single, tidy connection.
- Slip-Joint Serviceable -- Installs and comes apart at standard slip-joint nuts for easy service under the sink.
Where to Use:
- Building maintenance -- Connecting or replacing kitchen sink drains that also serve a dishwasher.
- Unit turnovers -- Swapping worn or crushed dishwasher tailpieces during apartment prep.
- Rough plumbing -- Building dishwasher drain tie-ins into new under-sink assemblies.
