Wiring a garbage disposal and dishwasher
Comments (8)I have never seen a DW or disposal with a cord and plug, but I don't get out much, if they sell the cords then I'm sure it is a fine way to go. One typical way is to run a 12/3 to a switch near the sink. From the switch the black circuit goes to the switch and then to the disposal, the red goes straight to the DW (or black to DW & red to disposal). Two separate 12/2 is also common, I prefer separate wires as the "loose neutral" problem can't happen that way. However it uses more copper and since there are only two multiwire neutral connections odds are you would not get a loose neutral problem, and it would be easy to find if you did. You could run the 14/3 to the disposal outlet and then run a 14/2 from the outlet through the wall to hardwire the dishwasher. Then the dishwasher will have no plug and you will have one less wire under your sink....See Morewhy not pull out trash under sink?
Comments (29)MaWizz - I'm betting, especially if you go for an offset drain (I love mine) your disposal could be on the side of the sink that the trash/recycling pullout is not. yes thats what i.m thinking to by the pics you all are posting. yeah i'm thinking i might like that alot based on the fact that it is my one and only sink. i can leave dirty dishes to one side and still have drain open on other to rinse veggies, drain pasta, etc. is yours a 30" sink then since you have a 30" cabinet? pretty space...nice job! looks very inviting and comfortable. thx for sharing pics!...See MoreBump out sink and dishwasher distance to sink
Comments (29)cali59, I agree regarding the comment that bump outs aren't out of style if you like them... I will always go with what I like, not what others consider are on trend or passe. I did use a kitchen with a bumped out sink for a couple months, and found the bump-out to be something I bumped into! I do think your DW should go beside the sink cabinet - for me and most, that's a must. Much easier. Dishes and glasses in drawers is how we have ours arranged (either beside the DW on the other side, or across from it to pivot and put away), and in the new reno layout as well. The exception are our extra glasses located above the DW - and that will change as I have to close the DW to get the glasses in the upper. Too many steps to put away glasses! Regarding deeper counters... yes, they are more costly, but we are going that route, with deeper drawers and deeper upper cabinets throughout except our island (not enough room). More counter space is always a good thing for me. Adding even 2" to drawer depths is a bonus for me as well. To be clear, it might seem to be an obstacle to have your dishes and glasses in a drawer cabinet beside the DW, but I stand in front of the open dishwasher, drawers as needed open, and easily put my dishes/glasses away. Glasses in a drawer are not a problem....See MoreKitchen design -sink/dishwasher bump out
Comments (14)If you are going for deeper counters--and yes, people who have them are "converts" and say they don't know how they managed without them before--you will have to have your upper cabinets made deeper as well. Standard depth for uppers is 12". If your counters will be 3" more than standard at 27" deep, then your upper cabinets need to be 15" deep. There are actually many people who opt for 15" deep uppers even if they are not getting deeper counters. That's because 12" deep uppers can sometimes be too shallow to store dinner plates. Many dinner plates today are 11-1/2" diameter or more. It's also easier to store larger glassware when the uppers are 15" deep. So making upper cabinets 3" deeper is a good thing. Except it will cost more....See More- 2 years ago
