Dishwasher connection

[Juddyman]

Hello all. DIY newcomer here.

Looking to change the under sink valve so I can have a dual connection for both the cold water tap, and a dishwasher. Brand new to dishwashers so not sure what connection I would need.

Connected single valve is pictured.

Attached is a picture of a couple valve taps which I already picked up. Not sure if they will work but I live at least an hour from Bunnings. Aware now they I will need some thread tape and wrenches to get the valve off.

Hi @Juddyman 

The taps you selected are for fitting into a female thread.

The Stop Cock in your photos is screwed onto a male 15mm thread

So you will need a double stop cock the one I suggest in the link has only one tap handle for both outlets there is no need for dual taps and it will replace your single kitchen outlet. nicely.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Juddyman. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about converting a tap.

@Jewelleryrescue is on the money there, and those fittings have male threads, whereas you need one with a female thread. The product they've linked to is what you should be using.

Changing a tap is considered plumbing work and requires a licensed tradesperson for the installation.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
