Dishwasher drain hose connection to garbage disposal.

Dishwasher drain hoses can be connected to the garbage disposal in different ways. You may need a dishwasher connector fitting to make the transition from the hose to the garbage disposal. Once the plug is out you can pick it up with needle nose pliers. The dishwasher pumps discarded water and food particles through the hose and into the garbage disposal.

Before connecting the dishwasher and the garbage disposal you will need to insert a screwdriver into the nozzle of the hose and use a hammer to gently push out the knockout plug into the nozzle.
