plumbing question

Right excuse me if I am being thick, but could someone please answer my question even if it sounds stupid?!!!

I am thinking of doing up my kitchen, and getting a condenser dryer and a dishwasher. Obviously they need plumbed in but how far away from the sink can they be? The way my kitchen is laid out one of them is going to be quite a bit away from under the sink.

Thanks in advance

  • Doesn't matter how far away they are providing that you can run a waste pipe to the diswasher with an adequate fall.
  • Thankyou - so you can run 3 things to your sink? Is it quite an easy thing to do?

    Very easy nowadays. Depends on your set up as to whether its easier to branch into the sink or take it out separately.

    How long,s a piece of string,depends on layout,ease of instalation,cost of materials etc,area you live etc

    the condensor dryer does not need a waste as it will have a container. The dish washer should be fairly stright forward even for an amateur. :-/
