Description
Product Overview
The Eastman Quick-Connect Dishwasher Installation Kit is engineered for homeowners, contractors, and appliance service professionals who demand a dependable, hassle‑free water supply solution. At its core is a 6‑foot stainless steel braided hose that combines a heavy‑duty PVC core with a multi‑filament nylon reinforcement, delivering exceptional resistance to kinking, abrasion, and high water pressure up to 125 psi. The hose terminates in a 3/8‑inch compression fitting on the inlet side and a 3/4‑inch Female Hose Thread (FHT) elbow on the outlet side, providing a universal connection that fits the majority of residential dishwasher shut‑off valves. Complementing the hose is a 5‑foot, three‑prong straight power cord with a built‑on harness, three wire nuts, and stainless‑steel hose clamps, all packaged in a single, ready‑to‑install kit. The stainless‑steel exterior not only resists corrosion but also adds a sleek, professional appearance that blends seamlessly with modern kitchen aesthetics. Designed with a clear vinyl outer shell, the hose remains visible for easy inspection, ensuring that any wear or damage can be identified before it becomes a problem.
Usage
This kit is suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios. Whether you are fitting a brand‑new dishwasher during a kitchen remodel or replacing an aging supply line in an existing setup, the Quick‑Connect system eliminates the need for soldering, crimping, or specialized tools. The flexible yet robust hose can be routed under cabinets, through tight corners, or along the back of the appliance without fear of kinking, thanks to its braided nylon reinforcement. The included power cord supplies the necessary electrical connection for dishwashers that require a dedicated outlet, and the wire nuts simplify the connection of the cord to the dishwasher’s internal wiring. Because the kit contains all essential components, installers can complete the job in a fraction of the time typically required for traditional hose assemblies, reducing labor costs and minimizing disruption to the household. Ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional service technicians, the kit’s universal fittings accommodate most standard dishwasher models sold in North America.
