StuartB Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hi, I carry out handyman work for people and have fitted a number of dishwashers in the past, though have retired from plumbing work now The cold water supply isn't a problem in terms of distance as its at mains pressure The drainage also shouldn't be a problem - this is a Miele instruction manual http://www.miele.co.uk/products/manuals/dishwashers/G600_G800Install45cmfullyint.pdf page 23 says it is supplied with a flexible drain hose of approx 1.5 metres but can be extended up to 4 metres and the drain pump has a maximum delivery head of 1 metre So the other consideration is the opening of the door to fill and empty it – so it doesn't catch on other fittings and isn't a trip hazard across a doorway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleidoscope Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 A previous dishwasher I used to have was plumbed in and the water pipe and drainage pipe were more than one metre and, in addition, had to go round two corners. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
